What is an ADU?

An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a secondary living space on your property with complete independent living facilities, including a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. Often called “Granny Flats,” “In-Law Suites,” or “Backyard Cottages,” these versatile structures have become increasingly popular throughout Los Angeles County, especially in coastal communities like Marina del Rey.

ADUs come in several forms, including Garage Conversions (transforming your existing garage into living space), Detached ADUs (standalone structures in your backyard), Attached ADUs (connected to your main home), and Room Additions (expanding your existing home). Each type offers unique advantages depending on your property layout, budget, and intended use.
