San Francisco ADU Experts
San Francisco Is One of the Most Popular Cities for ADUs
San Francisco has long embraced the concept of accessory dwelling units to contribute to the affordable housing stock and offer property owners a means of earning legal rental income that can ease the expense of owning a home in San Francisco.
The Perfect City for Accessory Dwelling Units
As accessory dwelling unit experts based in the Bay Area, our team’s experience provides us with the knowledge and relationships to navigate the City of San Francisco’s Planning and Building Departments with ease.
We design accessory dwelling units in San Francisco for both single and multi-family properties, specializing in conversions and legalizations.
New ground-up accessory dwelling units are less common in San Francisco due to the already dense nature of most lots. This makes conversion ADUs all the more popular. The most common type of conversions are garage conversions, basement conversions, and storage conversions. You may also have an existing unpermitted unit that you want to get legally recognized as an ADU. Whatever the approach, Adapt Dwellings can help you assess your options and make sure your project is feasible.
Accessory Dwelling Unit Allowances in San Francisco
San Francisco offers multiple programs for adding and legalizing units as ADUs, and figuring out which program makes the most sense for you can be confusing. Let us help you by starting with a feasibility study that will consider the various state and local allowances and the pros and cons of each. Regardless of the route you take, each single-family home is allowed to build at least one accessory dwelling unit, and multi-family properties can potentially do many more
Optimize Your Property Value In San Francisco
Accessory dwelling units are an ideal way of adding to the value of a property. In urban, densely populated cities like San Francisco, habitable space is at a premium, but the original design of many residential buildings left large portions of ground floor space as non-habitable for uses like storage or garage space. Now more than ever, property owners can benefit from investing in the conversion of such spaces to additional rentable units.
