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 garage conversion different in Coastal San Diego?

Along the Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Del Mar coast, lot sizes leave little room for new construction, making an existing garage one of the only realistic paths to adding a legal unit. Converting that space lets coastal homeowners capture some of the highest rental rates in the county without touching their setbacks or footprint. Salt air also means an attached or detached garage sitting idle is quietly deteriorating, putting it to work as a finished ADU is better stewardship of the structure.
