Researchers in Iowa State University’s Community and Regional Planning program are conducting a
study on Accessory Dwelling Units and would like to hear from Minneapolis residents. Accessory
Dwelling Units (sometimes just referred to as ADUs or “granny cottages”) are smaller dwelling units
located on the same lot with single family homes, with the smaller unit generally rented out or used as
additional living space. ADUs can come in a few different forms, such as a converted garage, a detached
unit in the backyard, or even a converted basement space.
To understand Minneapolis residents’ opinions on ADUs, we have put together a brief survey and would
appreciate your input! Both renters and homeowners are welcome to take the survey, and survey
responses are anonymous.
The survey includes an option to be entered into a drawing to win a $100 VISA gift card. Contact
information for the drawing will be separated from the rest of your responses.
