Pacific Beach: Pacific Beach sits inside the City of San Diego, where lots are compact, housing stock averages around 55 years old, and beach cottages and duplexes dominate, conditions that push families toward ADUs instead of moving. The marine layer keeps temps mild year-round, but salt air and tight setbacks mean design and permit expertise matter from day one.
