These custom ADUs were designed for a creative use of space to maximize the buildable footprint. Each spans 1200 sqft in two stories and features three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Design and Structure
Designed as two townhouse-style units, these ADUs are ingeniously constructed side by side in a single detached structure, separate from the existing duplex. This configuration not only optimizes the use of space but also maintains privacy between the main duplex and the new units. Read more about two story ADUs.
Features and Benefits

This strategic addition not only meets the growing demand for rental properties in San Diego but also aligns with urban development goals, promoting density and efficient use of residential land.
