What is an ADU?

Detached accessory dwelling units (ADU's) are separate, additional units on the same property as an existing home. With the recent updates to the Denver zoning code, Denver homeowners have more options to expand their home and diversify their community. Perfect for backyards, detached ADUs are a unique solution for families to age in place. Other homeowners may look toward ADU's as an option to create income via short term or long term rentals. An ADU also offers you the option to downsize your home to the smaller unit and to rent out your primary home.
