ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. It's a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. ADUs offer flexible living options, from rental income to housing family members, enhancing property value.
Potential downsides include initial construction costs and the need to adhere to local zoning ordinances. Some homeowners may also consider the impact on their existing yard space. However, the benefits of increased living area and rental potential often outweigh these concerns.
Florida's warm climate generally allows for construction throughout the year. However, the intense summer heat and potential for hurricanes require careful scheduling and reinforced building techniques to ensure durability and timely completion.
