Accessory Dwelling Units
Maximize Your Largest Investment... Your Home!
ADUs (Auxiliary Dwelling Unit), Granny Units, In-Law Flats, Secondary Housing Units, or Garage Conversions... Used to be virtually Impossible to build in most R-1 Single Family Neighborhoods. New California Law(s) makes it easier and far more affordable than ever.

For most of us our home represents the single biggest investment we’ll ever make. But until we move out and sell that home, all it does is cost money. However, with the changes to CA Laws homeowners now have the “right” to build rentable ADUs (Auxiliary Dwelling Units) in many R1 Districts (Single Family Neighborhoods) throughout California. If your one of the lucky homeowners it's like finding buried treasure in your backyard.

Monterey Bay Design Group has the expertise and team to guide you quickly through the design, permit and build process. We'll help you find the real value of your property and take full advantage of it to create a monthly revenue, year after year and added value when you go to sell your home.
