Benefits of Building a Two-Story ADU

Two-story ADUs offer more living space while preserving the property’s footprint, making them a smart choice for homeowners in urban areas. Many municipalities in Greater San Diego, including San Diego, Oceanside, and Chula Vista, allow two-story ADUs within their codes. Some cities offer reduced side and rear setbacks, while others require the structure to align with zoning regulations. Read more about two-story ADUs and see your local ADU regulations.

Key Benefits:

• Maximized Living Space: Add square footage without sacrificing yard or outdoor space.
• Flexible Design Options: Adapt the casita to suit your lifestyle and maximize property value.
