Thinking about adding extra living space to your Southern California property? A Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) could be the perfect solution!
A new detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a separate and independent residential structure located on the same property as the primary dwelling. Unlike attached ADUs, which share one or more walls with the main house, detached ADUs stand alone and have their own distinct footprint. These units can take various forms, such as standalone cottages, converted garages, or purpose-built structures, and typically include living quarters, a kitchen, a bathroom, and sometimes additional amenities.
Detached ADUs offer several benefits, including increased privacy for both the occupants of the primary residence and the ADU, the potential for rental income or housing extended family members, and flexibility in design and use. They can serve as guesthouses, rental properties, home offices, studios, or even primary residences, depending on local zoning regulations and the needs of the property owner.
Building an ADU can be a smooth and rewarding experience.
Here are the next steps:
Generally, you can build a detached ADU up to 1,200 square feet in Southern California.
No, there's no minimum lot size requirement by state law. Even with limitations, you can still build an ADU as small as 800 square feet.
Southern California allows for minimal setbacks from property lines, offering more flexibility in placement. You can even convert an existing permitted structure into an ADU if it meets regulations.
The timeline depends on size, complexity, and permitting. Expect several months, but consult with a contractor for a more accurate estimate.
Costs vary based on size, materials, and finishes. Expect a range of $30,000 to $150,000 or more.
Yes, several financing options exist, including traditional loans and special ADU loan programs.
