Verdant Living specializes in ADUs (accessory or additional dwelling units) which are mini-homes often located on one's property. These 'mini-homes' are also known as backyard bungalows, granny flats, or carriage houses. 

​

Over the past few years, ADUs have become more and more popular in cities throughout the United States; Portland, Seattle, and the entire state of California have seen tremendous growth and popularity as zoning and regulation laws have begun to favor ADUs. In Colorado, in 2024 a law was passed which favors ADUs in most cities..

An accessory (or additional) dwelling unit, usually just called an ADU, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. The term “accessory dwelling unit” is an institutional-sounding name, but it’s the most commonly-used term across the country to describe this type of housing. While the full name is a mouthful, the shorthand “ADU” is better.
