Why Build an ADU in San Diego?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary home on your property, sometimes called a granny flat, guest house, or in-law suite. ADUs add space and value while giving homeowners more flexibility in how they use their property.
Benefits of building an ADU include:
- Increase property value with a high-demand feature buyers look for.
- Generate rental income and create a reliable revenue stream.
- Provide private living space for family, guests, or aging parents.
- Maximize underused areas with garage conversions or backyard units.
- Stay compliant and efficient with San Diego’s updated ADU regulations.
