Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)
What are ADU's?
ADUs are self-contained homes located on the same lot as a primary residence. They include kitchens, bathrooms, and sleeping areas, and can be attached, detached, or conversions of existing space (like a garage or basement). For further information visit the Maine ADU Guide.
ADU's as a Housing Solution
As housing costs rise across the U.S., Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have become an effective way to help address housing shortages. These compact, flexible living spaces give homeowners and investors the chance to earn rental income, increase property value, and expand the local housing supply.
​
ADUs benefit more than just property owners, they strengthen communities too. By adding housing units without large-scale construction, ADUs offer a solution that aligns with the needs of growing urban populations.
​
​
For renters, ADUs offer modern, affordable housing options in areas where traditional rentals may be limited or expensive. They help close the gap between high costs and available housing, providing quality living spaces without forcing tenants to compromise on location. From a financial standpoint, ADUs are a smart investment. They can significantly raise a property’s value, and the potential for rental income adds long-term financial benefits for homeowners. For more information visit Maine's ADU Budgeting Guide.
