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.

What Does the Home Initiative Act Mean for You?

Whether you prefer attached or detached housing, the possibilities are limitless. Southerly Homes is intimately familiar with the new rules and regulations, and we’re ready to help you make the most of this opportunity.
