Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) Across Boston
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) in zoning across Boston's neighborhoods.
The City of Boston is working to eliminate barriers to building Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) by updating zoning to make these small homes as-of-right citywide. An ADU is a smaller, independent unit inside your home or in your yard. ADUs can provide accessible, lower-cost housing options for families, young adults, seniors, and more. Whether you’re creating housing for a loved one, renting out for extra income, or downsizing to stay on your property, ADUs create more opportunities for residents.ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK: Link & Download: LinkSection 8 of Chapter 150 of the Acts of 2024 allows accessory dwelling units — or ADUs — under 900 square feet to be built by-right in single-family zoning districts.
Massachusetts has a new tool available to help meet our growing housing needs. Governor Healey and Lieutenant Governor Driscoll are committed to jumpstarting housing production and making it easier for families to find affordable places to live. Thanks to legislation signed by Governor Healey, property owners now have the option to add a new rental apartment in their home or on their property.
