Spring Valley: Spring Valley's older ranch and tract homes, most built in the 1950s through 1970s on standard suburban lots, are exactly the kind of properties where a detached ADU fits cleanly in the backyard without major lot engineering. With summers regularly hitting 100°F and a housing market pushing $720K, families here are building ADUs to offset the mortgage, house aging parents, or create space that grows with them.

Why is junior adu different in East County San Diego?

In El Cajon, Santee, and the unincorporated county pockets, homes often sit under county jurisdiction rather than city, which changes the permit path and fee structure in ways that catch homeowners off guard. A JADU is typically simpler to navigate jurisdictionally than a full detached ADU, especially on properties with older electrical panels that can't easily support a separate meter. For multigenerational families common in this area, it's a cost-effective way to keep a relative close without a full addition.
