SFR with AADU

 

5/31/23 Maple Leaf neighborhood

Within a couple of blocks, several new houses are under various stages of construction in Maple Leaf. All are behemoths compared to the traditional homes around them – the kind that the behemoths have replaced, often two or even three at a time. This one is typical: A large single-family residence with a smaller “attached accessory dwelling unit” in back. (I learned this term by seeing the convenient label AADU on the dwelling.) Even the smaller one has three stories and probably more square footage than our house.
