Imperial Beach: Imperial Beach sits at San Diego County's southernmost tip, where bungalows are 50-plus years old and lots are small and tight. Families here build ADUs to house aging parents, grown kids, or to generate rental income in one of the county's most affordable coastal markets.

Why is adu design different in Coastal San Diego?

On coastal lots in Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Del Mar, every square foot is negotiated, setbacks are tight, lot coverage limits bite hard, and salt air demands materials that hold up over time. A precise design upfront is what keeps a project from stalling at the permit counter or costing more than it should mid-build. Getting the numbers right before breaking ground is the difference between an ADU that pencils out and one that doesn't.

What's included in adu design in Imperial Beach?
