Why is the market for ADU’s trending In Valley Glen?



1. Los Angeles Valley College

LAVC is a public community college in Valley Glen. It has over 20,000 students enrolled per semester which makes it a hub for renters. These renters are students that are looking for private residence without paying too much. An affordable ADU is key for these students.

2. Affordability

ADU’s are small living units that are usually between 200-1200 square feet. Since September 2020 the state of California has made it easier for home owners to permit and build new units. Why? Because it works. The housing shortage is finally being privatized and its single family home owners that will finally win. Not only are homeowners looking to build more ADU’s in the area, but renters are looking for more private alternatives to apartments in which they can have their own personal space. Rather than paying rent for a small apartment, a tenant would prefer having their own small home. As a homeowner in the area, making an investment in building an ADU will pay off as tenants are ready to move in.
