Classic ADU Rental in El Cajon

Classic ADU Rental in El Cajon with Smart Design

This classic ADU in El Cajon is a perfect example of how to blend timeless design with everyday functionality. At 750 square feet, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom layout offers everything a homeowner needs for flexible living whether for extended family, guests, or rental income.

The ADU features a traditional stucco exterior paired with a shingle roof. These exterior materials are among the most common and trusted choices for accessory dwelling units across San Diego County. Their durability and clean aesthetic make them ideal for creating a look that feels familiar and welcoming.

The property owner, Oscar, plans to use his ADU to generate rental income. Hear what he had to say:

“I chose SnapADU to design, permit & build an ADU on my investment property. Having self-managed an ADU project just the year before, I was well-aware of the intricacies and challenges involved. This time, I hoped to delegate the entire thing, looking not just at raw costs but the overall value in terms of time, effort, and money. Working with SnapADU has been nothing short of exceptional. Even amidst a high inflation environment, they honored their pricing from our Feasibility phase, allowing me to proceed with the project on budget despite frustrating city permitting delays. Their commitment to their 6-month price lock is genuine, and they stood by it even beyond that timeframe. I’m particularly grateful for their advocacy when the city was pushing for right of way improvements on my property. SnapADU’s team was well-versed in state ADU laws, and they successfully contested these unnecessary requirements, saving me thousands. Their dedication didn’t stop there; they went above and beyond to assist me in securing a state grant for ADU funding. Despite the paperwork and extended payment delays due to that state program, they supported me without any extra charges. Post-build, their service remained impeccable. I had a warranty claim months after the project was finished, and they responded swiftly, addressing all concerns. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and professional ADU partner, considering the overall value, SnapADU comes highly recommended!”

Efficient L-Shaped Floor Plan

The heart of this classic ADU is its smart L-shaped floor plan. This design creates a natural division between living spaces and bedrooms, making the layout feel open yet private.

Key Interior Features:

• Open Living and Kitchen Area: The living room and kitchen share an open concept layout, making the space feel larger and more connected.

• In-Unit Laundry: A dedicated laundry area is included for convenience and efficiency.

• Two Ensuite Bedrooms: Each bedroom has its own walk-in closet and private bathroom. One of the bathrooms also includes an additional door for guests to access from the main living area.

This thoughtful setup provides both privacy and practicality, especially for families or shared living arrangements. Read more about the floor plan and see more two bedroom ADU plans.
