ADUs are becoming higher in demand, with families wanting to have their loved ones nearby, especially if they are aging. For years, these were not approved in the Denver metro area, but now are slowly starting to get approved.
Per the City of Denver-
"Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, are self-contained, smaller living spaces that are an extension of an existing property. They are often called mother-in-law suites, granny flats, casitas, backyard cottages, garage apartments or basement apartments. An ADU has its own kitchen, bath and sleeping area, but is not considered a separate property that could be sold on its own.
Beginning fall 2021, city planners will look at how the Denver Zoning Code regulates ADUs. This project will not change where in the city ADUs are allowed, but will look at how they are designed, how they fit in with different types of neighborhoods and block patterns, and how updates to the zoning code may reduce barriers to creating ADUs."
Here is a link to check and see if your address is approved for an ADU.
These graphics are a few years old, but represent how the size of our households have decreased.
I am getting a few calls from buyers that want to have either enough bedrooms within the home for multi-generational families or have an ADU for a separate area for a family member(s).
