Detached ADU
A detached ADU is a standalone backyard home built separate from the main house, with its own foundation, walls, and roof. In Sacramento it can reach up to 1,200 square feet and commands the highest rent and resale value of any ADU type, at roughly $250–$360 per square foot turnkey.
Detached units are the most flexible but most expensive type because they require a full new structure and utility connections. They suit deep or large lots common in Land Park, Elk Grove, and the foothill submarkets.
