Many municipalities throughout the Northeast allow accessory dwelling units as a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. The term “accessory dwelling unit” is abreviated to “ADU”. The fact that it is a smaller secondary housing unit on the same lot as a single-family home is what defines an ADU.
However, ADUs can vary in their physical form quite a bit, ranging from basement built-outs, garage conversions, apartments above garages or workshops, addition ADUs, bump-out ADUs, internal ADUs, to stand-alone structures in the backyard. Westchester Modular Homes offers currently an ADU that is a stand-alone mini-home, called the East Island.
Please note: Mini-Homes, Cottages, Guest Houses, Investment, Vacation & Glamping Units set on their own building lot are not considered ADUs and are treated differently. They also need to be permitted and must adhere to the local zoning and building codes.
