What Is a Granny Flat and How Is It Different From an ADU?
A granny flat is a self-contained living unit built on the same property as the primary home. Typically used to house family members, granny flats provide a private space for aging parents or adult children. As a type of ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), granny flats focus more on multigenerational living. Granny flats prioritize family needs and provide flexibility in layout and amenities.
