Do you know what a ?Granny Flat? is? Or maybe you know it by building industry lingo, Accessory Apartment or Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)-- or any of the other, possibly more common, names, such as ?Mother/Daughter Apartment? or ?Mother-in-law Apartment.?
They?ve been around for decades, but it seems the increased interest in the ?tiny home? has also increased interest in the granny flat.
A granny flat is a self-contained apartment that has a living room, a tiny kitchen, bath, and a bedroom. It can be in either a detached or attached dwelling, and usually just accommodates one or two people.
Now San Diego, CA is accelerating construction of the granny flat to ease the housing shortage. These ?tiny houses? will be constructed to be affordable to middle and lower income people. Source: www.sandiegouniontribune.com by David Garrick.
