Del Mar: Del Mar's prime coastal position means salt air, heavy marine layer, and roughly ten inches of rain a year -- all factors that shape material choices and foundation decisions when building a permanent ADU on an estate-sized lot. Homes here average about 55 years old, which means many properties have the bones and the yard space to support a well-designed detached unit.
