Find the Right ADU for Your Property and Budget
Whether you’re adding rental income, housing a loved one, or increasing your property value, ADULink offers multiple ADU solutions — from standalone units to garage conversions. We’ll help you choose the right model based on your lot, goals, and local zoning rules.
🔹 ADU Model Types
We support several ADU configurations depending on your property layout and what’s allowed in your city or town:
1. Detached ADU
A standalone unit built separately from the main house — often in the backyard.
Ideal for privacy, long-term rentals, or independent living.
✅ Eligible in most zoning areas across Massachusetts.
2. Attached ADU
An extension of your existing home with a private entrance.
Best when there’s available space on the side or rear of your house.
✅ Great for multigenerational households or flexible use.
3. Interior ADU (Upper Level)
A converted upper floor of your main residence.
Perfect for homeowners with large second stories or unused top-floor space.
✅ Ideal for adult children or short-term rentals.
4. Interior ADU (Lower Level / Basement)
A finished basement with its own entrance, kitchen, and bath.
Efficient use of existing space with less exterior construction.
✅ Often the most affordable ADU option.
5. Above-Garage ADU
A self-contained unit built above an existing or new garage.
Great for small lots with vertical build potential.
✅ Maximizes land use while preserving your yard.
6. Garage Conversion
Transforms an existing garage into a livable, independent unit.
A fast and cost-effective solution when the garage is already connected to utilities.
✅ Ideal for minimal construction costs.
7. Basement or Existing Space Conversion
Also known as JADUs (Junior ADUs) — converting interior rooms like attics or bonus rooms.
✅ Fast-track option in towns with flexible ADU ordinances.
