What's a Junior ADU (JADU) and How Do We Build Them in Long Beach?

A Junior ADU (JADU) is a small, self-contained living space built inside your existing home. A Junior ADU is usually 500 square feet or less. This JADU unit will have its own kitchenette, a bathroom, and a separate entrance. You can think of a JADU as turning a spare bedroom or a part of your house into a full apartment. This is done without expanding your home's footprint or needing extra parking for the Junior ADU.
