What Is an ADU?

ADU stands for accessory dwelling unit, a smaller second home built on the same lot as a primary house, whether that is a converted garage, a basement apartment, or a standalone cottage. It has its own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance, which separates it from a finished basement or bonus room that's just extra space within the main house. Brian Beatty can explain how ADU rules apply to a specific Lowcountry property before you plan one.
