What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit on the same property as a main residence. Think of it as a smaller, independent home that shares the land with a larger house. ADUs can come in many forms: they might be a tiny house in the backyard, an apartment over a garage, or a basement turned into a living space. These units have their own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area, making them fully functional homes on their own.


ADUs are a smart way to utilize property space effectively, offering flexibility for homeowners. They can serve various purposes, such as providing a private living area for family members, generating rental income, or offering a cozy guest house for visitors. With the growing need for more housing options and the appeal of earning extra income, ADUs have become increasingly popular in cities and neighborhoods across the country.

Crafting Unique Spaces for Enhanced Living in Jacksonville

We specialize in the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), offering personalized living solutions that cater to the diverse needs of Jacksonville residents. ADUs, often known as granny flats, in-law suites, or backyard cottages, are standalone structures that provide additional living space on your existing property. They are an ideal way to utilize unused space, whether it's for family, rental income, or personal use. Our team of experts understands the intricacies of ADU construction, from initial design to final implementation, ensuring that each project aligns with our client's vision while adhering to local zoning laws and building codes.

Uses for ADUs in Jacksonville, FL

  • Rental Income Opportunity

    ADUs are an excellent way to generate additional income. With Jacksonville's thriving tourist industry, converting your ADU into a short-term rental property, like an Airbnb, can be a lucrative venture. It offers guests a private and cozy space, and you benefit from the extra income.

  • In-Law Suite

    An ADU provides the perfect solution for multigenerational living. It allows aging parents or in-laws to live close by while maintaining their independence. These units can be designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring comfort and safety for your loved ones.

  • Home Office or Studio

    As remote work becomes increasingly common, an ADU can serve as a dedicated home office or creative studio. This separate space ensures a quiet, distraction-free environment, ideal for productivity and creativity.

  • Guest House

    Provide your guests with a comfortable and private space during their stay. An ADU can be a charming guest house, offering all the amenities needed for a pleasant visit, and it's especially useful during holidays or family gatherings.

  • Hobby or Recreational Space

    Transform an ADU into a personal retreat — a place for hobbies, exercise, or relaxation. Whether it's a home gym, an art studio, or a gaming lounge, an ADU can be customized to suit your recreational pursuits.

  • Rental Space for Students or Professionals

    Given Jacksonville's proximity to colleges and business hubs, ADUs can be rented out to students or working professionals looking for affordable and convenient living options.
