Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are transforming homes and neighborhoods across Los Gatos and the Bay Area. Whether you call it a backyard ADU, granny flat, or in-law suite, these versatile spaces are one of the smartest ways to add value, flexibility, and income potential to your property.

As leading ADU builders in Los Gatos, EDR Design Build is here to guide you through every step—from exploring ADU floor plans to navigating local zoning regulations and maximizing your investment.

Why Build an ADU in Los Gatos?

The demand for ADUs in California has never been higher. Homeowners are discovering that an accessory dwelling unit can:

Create rental income: ADU rental income can help offset your mortgage or provide steady cash flow.
Support multigenerational living: Give aging parents, adult children, or guests a comfortable, independent space.
Increase property value: Modern, well-designed ADUs are a major selling point in the competitive Bay Area market.
Expand your lifestyle: Use your ADU as a home office, studio, or guest house—the possibilities are endless.

Understanding ADU Options: From Garage Conversions to Custom Builds

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to ADU construction. As experienced ADU builders, we help you explore all your options:

Backyard ADU: Detached units built in your yard for maximum privacy and flexibility.
Garage to ADU Conversion: Transform an underused garage into a stylish living space, perfect for rental or family use.
Attached ADU: Add space to your existing home while maintaining a separate entrance and amenities.
Granny Flat Construction: Create a comfortable, accessible unit for family members or guests.

Every project starts with creative accessory dwelling unit design and a review of available ADU floor plans to match your lot, budget, and goals.

What Does an ADU Cost? Financing and Value
