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.

Why is junior adu different in North Coastal San Diego?

The Oceanside and Carlsbad coastal edge has a mix of post-war single-family homes where lot sizes look generous on paper but get eaten up by setbacks and easements. A JADU attached to the main structure sidesteps those lot constraints entirely and moves faster through city review. For homeowners here who want rental income without a major build, it's often the lowest-friction option on the table.
