The Mayor’s Office of Housing is hosting a Backyard ADU Showcase on City Hall Plaza, where you can step inside a full-scale model Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and learn how these small homes can expand housing options across the city. Whether you’re hoping to make space for a loved one in your home, or create a rental opportunity in your own backyard, this is a chance to see what’s possible.
🕛 Daily Info Sessions: Join every day at 12:00 PM (Tuesday–Friday) for a guided overview of how ADUs work in Boston and what it takes to build one.
🏡ADU Resource Fair: On Saturday (1:00–5:00 PM), there will be a resource fair with architects, builders, lenders, and housing organizations available to answer your questions.
📍 Location: Boston City Hall Plaza
📅 Dates: Tuesday, 5/12 through Sunday, 5/17
No registration required—just stop by!
We hope for zoning changes to allow these detached ADUs to be built as-of-right in Hyde Park, Roslindale, and West Roxbury through the Planning Department’s Neighborhood Housing zoning initiative.
