Why is the market for ADU’s trending in Winnetka?


  1. Los Angeles Pierce College: Is a public community college in the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD). Which 22,000 students attend per semester. With no dorms or on campus housing, all 22,000 of these students are potential renters for your newly built ADU.

  2. Family Friendly Parks Winnetka is home to numerous parks that are not only safe but family friendly. Winnetka Recreation center has a terrific indoor gymnasium as well as workout equipment. The Rec center also has a fully lighted baseball diamond. Other parks in the area include Quimby Park, Runnymede Park, and the West Valley YMCA.

  3. 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.
