Raleigh ADU Study: General Survey

WakeUp Wake County and Raleigh Forward, two local nonprofits, are gathering community input to understand experiences and perspectives on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in Raleigh.

For this study, an ADU is defined as a smaller, self-contained home on the same lot as a primary residence, with its own kitchen, bathroom, and living space.

This survey is for people who do not own, occupy, or live near a property with an ADU in Raleigh but still want to share their viewes about accessory dwelling units.

If you:

Own an ADU, take the Owner Survey.
Live or have lived in an ADU, take the Occupant Survey.
Live next to or near an ADU, take the Neighbor Survey.
Design or build ADUs, take the Designer/Builder Survey.

Your perspective as a community member will help us better undertand how ADUs fit into Raleigh's housing landscape. Thank you for sharing your views.
