Is There a Difference between ADU and JADU?

An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) and a JADU (Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit) differ mainly in size, functionality, and regulations. ADUs are secondary housing units on a property that are fully independent, with their own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area, and can be attached, detached, or converted from existing space. JADUs are smaller, often limited to 500 square feet, and typically involve the conversion of part of an existing home (like a bedroom) into a living space with a potential kitchenette and separate entrance, but may share bathroom facilities with the primary residence. These distinctions make JADUs a more integrated yet compact option, while ADUs offer a completely independent living environment. Learn More >
