Briefly

A 26-year-old built a $260,000 ADU on her family's property. Now, she lives in the 748-square-foot space with her sister.
"Mia Corippo and her family built a small home on her parents' land near Yosemite National Park. Corippo then built an ADU for herself on the land, saving money and resources. The $260,000 ADU is just over 700 square feet and has two bedrooms and bathrooms. When Mia Corippo looks out of her door in the mornings, she's greeted by sweeping views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, her rescue dog frolicking in her yard, and a small house that looks almost identical to hers just a few feet away."
"Corippo doesn't live in a planned community with cookie-cutter homes, though. She lives in an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, on her parents' land, sharing property and resources to save money. She's one of thousands of Americans turning to ADUs as a more affordable alternative to traditional housing."
