The books below generally deal with new urbanism.

Celebration, U.S.A.
by Douglas Frantz, Catherine Collins

Our Comments:  This was the first book our founder, Adam, read about Celebration.  Shortly after reading the book he started looking for a garage apartment to rent in Celebration.  Read Adam's Review.

 

The New Urbanism: Toward an Architecture of Community
by Peter Katz

Our Comments:  This one actually has an entire page about accessory dwelling units (garage apartments)! The book also contains great pictures and plans of new urban communities.  This is a must have for every student of new urbanism.

 

Community By Design: New Urbanism for Suburbs and Small Communities
by Kenneth B. Hall, Gerald A. Porterfield

The Celebration Chronicles
by Andrew Ross

Our Comments:  This books provides insight to living and working in a new urbanism community such as a Celebration.  We thought this book spent a little too much time on Mr. Ross' volunteer work at the school.  Celebration has many garage apartments available for rent.

How to Build a Two Car Garage With Apartment Above
by Donald R. Brann

Our Comments:  We have not read this book, but we imagine that it is a good reference if you are planning to build a garage apartment.  The book was published in 1977.
