״Better Solutions From The Ground Up״

Monterey Park Snapshot: Tight Land, High Demand

Monterey Park sits in the San Gabriel Valley with fast access to I-10, Downtown Los Angeles, East Los Angeles College, and Cal State LA. Rental demand stays strong, multi-generational living is common, and many parcels still have deep backyards or old detached garages. That combination makes ADUs one of the best ways to add livable square footage without moving. Plan it well and the numbers pencil.

ADU Or JADU, Know The Difference

ADU: Second residential unit with its own kitchen, bath, and sleeping area, on the same lot as the main home. It can be detached, attached, or converted from an existing enclosed space.

JADU: Junior ADU, up to 500 square feet, carved fully within the primary home; can share a bath when rules are met and usually has an efficiency kitchenette.

Your path affects setbacks, parking, utilities, cost, and review time.

Design Moves That Help Small Units Live Large

Nine-foot ceilings or vaults add volume. Large sliders to the yard bring light and indoor indoor-outdoor flow. Stack washer dryer in the bath zone. Durable LVP or tile for rentals. Mini split HVAC saves duct space. Covered patio extends living; Monterey Park weather makes it worth it. Clerestory or privacy glass along lot lines keeps neighbors happy.
