JADUs are created by repurposing an existing bedroom in a home. A separate entrance and kitchenette are added to make it a studio apartment. A JADU can have its own bathroom or share a bathroom with the main house. JADUs do not redefine single-family homes, as the door adjoining the JADU to the rest of the home remains. They do not increase density as the living and sleeping capacity of a home does not change. They do not require any changes to your septic system.

Learn why repurposing an existing bedroom into a JADU may be right for you!
