This type of backyard home is often called a granny flat, ADU, in-law-suite, studios or guest quarters. Backyard homes can be located on top of a garage, as an extension in the back yard, or as a connector between a home and detached garage, or stand alone separate unit. This type of backyard adu will maximize a family’s living space. Young adults, appreciate them as an opportunity to save some money – plus, their parents’ property value increases and the unit can become a rental when their young adult moves on.

Every county does not allow Homeowners to build every type of ADU in every neighborhood. Some clients have come to us after they have learned that their plans could not be built. SoCal-ADU Pros will fully research the permitting rules in your neighborhood before we even begin the design phase. Our professionals have extensive experience in walking our designs through the approval process.
