Attached ADUs are ideal for family members who require close supervision or care. Being physically connected to the main house allows caregivers to easily provide assistance while maintaining a level of independence for the occupants.
In Orange County, for instance, an attached ADU can yield a return on investment (ROI) of approximately 13.6%, translating to a substantial increase in property worth due to the added living space and potential rental income.
Attached ADUs can serve various purposes beyond family care. They can be rented out to generate additional income, used as home offices, or provide guest accommodations. This flexibility enhances the overall functionality and appeal of the property.
