Why backyard living?

These days, huge backyards and white picket fences are out of reach for most of us. The ‘American dream’ 2.0 is more about live-in grandparents, working from home, and flexible spaces. We need to get smarter about how we create affordable housing and increase density on the land we already have. While U.S. cities used to make it illegal or cost-prohibitive to add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), many are now removing barriers to development—encouraging sustainable density. That’s why we’re working in close partnerships with municipalities to cut red tape and make smart density the new normal.

Our Products

You have many options when deciding upon an ADU provider, including traditional site-built construction. But first, you’ll need to make countless decisions around design, architecture, and engineering. Then you will have to pull permits for city approval and can expect backyard construction to take 6+ months. Managing this process is painful. Abodu eliminates these challenges.

Accessory Dwelling Unit

Legalized and incentivized in California since 2017.

In 2017, California legalized and reduced most fees for backyard homes – recognizing ADUs as a vital tool in solving the housing crisis. Under Prop 13, adding an Abodu in CA doesn’t trigger an increase on your property tax basis for your existing home, just on the improvement value. With new 2020 laws removing additional barriers to backyard dwellings, there’s never been a better time to think about creating new space at your old place.
