A garage conversion is the fastest and most affordable way to add living space to your San Diego home. Because the structure already exists - with foundation, framing, and roof in place - you save $50,000-$100,000 compared to building a new detached ADU. And thanks to California's landmark ADU laws passed since 2020, permits that once took 6+ months now take just 60 days or less.
Choose the right conversion type for your needs and budget - 2026 San Diego pricing
San Diego ADUs rent for $1,500-$2,500/month. Your conversion can pay for itself in 4-6 years while adding long-term value.
A permitted ADU typically adds 10-20% to your home's value - often more than the cost of conversion in premium neighborhoods.
Perfect for aging parents, adult children, or guests who want privacy with proximity. Independence without isolation.
California law removed parking requirements for most ADU conversions near transit - which covers most San Diego neighborhoods.
Garage conversion takes 4-12 weeks vs. 6-12 months for a new detached ADU. Start enjoying your space sooner.
Existing foundation and framing means lower costs. Garage conversion is the most affordable way to add an ADU.
