Flexible living solutions for every stage of life
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are perfect for homeowners looking to generate rental income, families who need space for aging parents or adult children, and anyone wanting to add flexible, functional living space to their property.
Whether you're interested in creating extra income, increasing property value, or designing a custom living space, here are the key benefits that an ADU can offer.
WHAT YOU GAIN
The Advantages of Building an ADU
Explore the key benefits of adding an ADU—from extra income to increased property value and more.
Increase Your Property Value
Adding an ADU can significantly boost resale value—often by 20-30%. Buyers love the extra living space and rental potential of ADUs. A well-designed ADU makes your property more attractive in the competitive California market.
Design Considerations
From layout to functionality, we help you consider all aspects of ADU design to maximize the potential of your additional dwelling unit.
Earn Passive Income
ADUs provide steady monthly income that can help pay your mortgage or fund retirement. High rental demand in Monterey and Santa Cruz means excellent ROI. ADUs under 750 sq. ft. are exempt from impact fees, making them more cost-effective.
Regulations Consultation
Navigating local regulations can be complex. We offer guidance and support to ensure your ADU project complies with the regulations in Pacific Grove, Santa Cruz, and Carmel Valley.
