Encinitas: Encinitas homes sit on lots shaped by decades of coastal living, many 45 to 60+ years old, which means there's often real space for a backyard or attached ADU without touching the street presence neighbors expect. The city's mix of surf-culture bungalows and larger Olivenhain parcels creates a wide range of ADU types that actually fit here.
