The best ADU type depends on your lot size, existing structures, and budget. Here are the most viable options for Morris Park homeowners.
Morris Park's well-maintained brick homes frequently feature full basements with good ceiling heights. The neighborhood's strong Italian-American community means many homes are meticulously maintained, providing solid foundations for conversion.
Detached garages are found throughout Morris Park's residential blocks. Converting these structures into studio or 1-bedroom ADUs is a practical option that avoids new construction permitting complexity.
While lots tend to be on the smaller side (2,000–3,000 sq ft), select properties on wider blocks and corner lots can accommodate a compact detached ADU. This option is less common but viable on qualifying lots.

|---|---|---|
| Basement Conversion | $100,000–$215,000 | 3–6 months |
