KEEP IN TOUCH WITH FAMILY

ADU in Redwood City, CA

Families find it more difficult to live close to one another as the world gets more industrialized and urbanized. Families that desire to keep strong ties with their loved ones may find this to be a significant difficulty. ADUs (accessory dwelling units) may provide a remedy, nevertheless. ADUs may be attached to or separate from the main house on the site. They can serve as a residence for an aging family member, a young adult just setting out on their own, or even as a rental property. The best part is that they make it possible for families to coexist side by side without compromising on privacy or individuality.

ADUs are frequently used as mother-in-law flats, guest quarters, or rental properties. They can also be a fantastic option for families who need more space but wish to remain in their current location. For instance, a family with young children might utilize an ADU as a playroom or an area for homeschooling. An ADU can be a fantastic alternative for empty-nesters who wish to downsize but still have space for out-of-town visitors and family. Families in need of more space may find that ADUs are an excellent alternative. For instance, an ADU could be converted into a quiet getaway for mom. Or, it can be transformed into a “man cave,” where dad can unwind. ADUs are a popular choice for families that wish to stay connected in Redwood City, CA.
