National City: National City's mild, coastal-influenced climate means ADUs are comfortable year-round with minimal mechanical load. The city's dense, older housing stock, mostly 1950s and 1960s ranch homes and craftsman bungalows, gives homeowners real opportunity to add a backyard unit without a major footprint change.

Why is adu design different in Central San Diego?

San Diego's city core and La Mesa neighborhoods carry a mix of 1950s bungalows, hillside lots, and dense corridors where no two parcels play by the same rules. Good design reads the existing structure and the city's specific overlay requirements before a single line gets drawn. That groundwork is what turns a complicated urban lot into a legal, livable second unit.

What's included in adu design in National City?

  • Custom floor plans sized to your lot and goals
