ADU Services in Tierrasanta, CA.

Along Santo Road, off Mission Gorge Road, and tucked into the hills backing up to Mission Trails Regional Park, Tierrasanta homeowners are sitting on some of the most ADU-ready lots in the City of San Diego. The "Island in the Hills" is 75 percent single-family, with a housing stock that was built out in the 70s and 80s on master-planned parcels that typically have usable side or rear yard space. That combination, mature lots plus strong neighborhood demand, is exactly why families here are calling ADUz. Some are housing a parent. Others are converting underused space into a rental that offsets their mortgage. A few are planning ahead for adult kids who want to stay close but need their own front door. ADUz handles design, permits, and construction for homeowners throughout Tierrasanta, and we know the City of San Diego's ADU process well enough to get you through it without the runaround.

Tierrasanta falls inside City of San Diego jurisdiction, not the county, so your ADU permit goes through the City's Development Services Department. That matters because San Diego has invested in streamlining its ADU process, and standard detached ADUs on single-family lots can move through plan check faster than many neighboring jurisdictions. The typical Tierrasanta lot is a slab-foundation ranch or two-story from the 70s or 80s with a rear yard that backs up to either a neighbor or open space near Mission Trails. Most of those yards can support a detached ADU in the 400 to 800 square foot range depending on setbacks and lot coverage limits. If the rear yard is tight, a junior ADU conversion inside the existing home is often a cleaner path. Garage conversions are also popular here, especially on homes along the Clairemont Mesa Boulevard corridor where the garage faces the street and the rear yard stays private. ADUz will pull your assessor records and walk the lot before we draw anything, so you know what's actually buildable before spending a dollar on plans.
