New York City has officially launched its long-awaited ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) program — a landmark step in expanding affordable and legal housing options across the five boroughs. Under the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity plan, homeowners can now apply to build safe, code-compliant basement apartments, attic units, and backyard cottages, helping to ease the city’s historic housing shortage.

For homeowners exploring this new opportunity, Xhome’s Flex Series stands as the ideal ADU solution — delivering pre-engineered, energy-efficient, and beautifully designed homes that meet New York’s latest zoning, fire safety, and environmental standards.

Xhome Flex Series: Ready for NYC’s ADU Era

The Flex Series by Xhome is designed for rapid, affordable, and sustainable construction — a perfect match for New York City’s new ADU rules. Built with light steel structures and composite ceramic wall systems, each Flex home provides superior durability, insulation, and resilience against fire, flooding, and hurricanes.

Key Advantages of Flex Series for ADUs:

  • Fully Code-Compliant: Meets NYC standards for construction, zoning, and occupancy.
  • Fast Installation: Factory-manufactured panels allow quick on-site assembly within weeks.
  • Flexible Layouts: Choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom configurations.
  • Sustainable Design: Solar-ready, energy-efficient materials with minimal waste.
  • Modern Aesthetic: Clean, minimalist architecture suitable for backyard, side-lot, or rooftop applications.
  • One-Stop Service: From design and permits to delivery and installation, Xhome handles every step.

Supporting Homeowners, Strengthening Communities

The city’s new ADU For You program aims to help homeowners add an extra unit for family members or tenants, while promoting safe and legal housing. This aligns perfectly with Xhome’s mission to democratize high-quality homebuilding — making professional construction accessible to everyone through industrialized, intelligent manufacturing.

“ADUs are not just about adding space — they’re about adding opportunity,” says the Xhome team. “With Flex, homeowners can create an additional income stream, house aging parents, or support community growth, all while ensuring quality and compliance.”
