Converting a garage into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) can be a great way to increase living space. ADUs turn a garage, typically considered a storage area for cars and garden tools, into livable space for a family member or tenant. It has become easier than ever before as many local governments have started promoting garage conversions as a form of additional housing under their laws, which allow individuals or families to increase the total number of allowable units on an existing lot. There are lots of excellent possibilities that come with garage conversions, so if you're considering adding a new unit type to your property, give thoughtful consideration to converting your garage.
