I Bid You “ADU”
This 2 bdrm 2 bth 850sf "ADU", (Accessory Dwelling Unit) Cottage comfortably accomodates a young family of 2 adults and two pre-school sisters. It offers this family a quality of life that they otherwise may never afford inasmuch as it is located just a few minutes from the beach in the midst of multi-million dollar estates. Adding additional living space to this home is very possible as long as they stay within the required set backs and maximun square foot ratios with respect to their planning and zoning guidelines.
As the real estate market plummets to it’s all time low since the S&L debacle of the early 90’s….. in walks what just might be the next major REAL ESTATE BOOM. But I say this with caution inasmuch as, it only applies to certain privileged geographical proximities in certain states.
I’m talking about ADU’s “Accessory Dwelling Units”
“The national shortage of affordable housing has made accessory dwellings an important component of the housing strategy of many communities. Accessory dwellings help increase the supply of affordable housing without government subsidies, increase the overall housing stock, and facilitate elders’ ability to age in place. To promote the creation of accessory dwellings, four states (California, Massachusetts, Vermont and Washington) have enacted laws encouraging or requiring localities to amend their zoning ordinances to permit homeowners to add accessory dwellings. The link below offers information on those state laws and some links to further information.”

The 1 bdrm 1 bth 522sf "ADU" Casita above offers all the comforts of a full sized home and can be easily constructed on private property, in a Manufactured Home Park or a small infill project.
We have a problem in today’s American housing market. It’s all about how we will manage to provide housing for the entourage of Baby Boomer Parents, X gen Children and perhaps even our Y gen grandchildren in what is quickly becoming our greatest new housing paradigm and challenge.
Boomer’s unlike their WWII parents who couldn't wait to sell their home for cash and buy that "Rolling Home" to tour the USA or…perhaps purchase that ultimate Mobilehome in that unbelievable “Trailer Park” don't seen to be wandering that far away from the nest.
Well…….Disneyland is over Folks! We’re now dealing with what will undoubtedly become our biggest housing challenge ever. Where do we house our families… past, present and future?
Do you coldly and arbitrailiary submit your folks, who brought you up in the most prosperous period of time ever in human history, to a life sentence in an unassisted living environment when they're still healthy and vibrant and love spending time with their Grandchildren?
Or perhaps you have children or even grandchildren who need a place to hang out while raising their children while they try to grind through college and then find gainful employment?
