Unlock the Potential of Your Property with ADUs from Southerly Homes
ADU, Casita, Office-Shed, Pool House, Secondary Dwelling, Tiny House – What’s the Buzz About?
You may have heard these terms tossed around, but let us clear the air: ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit, and it’s creating a housing revolution in Austin! ADUs, also known as casitas, office sheds, pool houses, secondary dwellings, and even tiny houses, are on the rise. The City Council has just passed the groundbreaking HOME Initiative Act that will give property owners the green light to erect up to three additional units on their lots.
