Introduction
Glendale has one of the highest ADU adoption rates in Los Angeles County. The city’s mix of single-family hillside homes and flatland properties provides diverse ADU opportunities. Uni Construction designs permit-ready ADU plans for Glendale homeowners, from small JADUs to full 1,200 sq ft detached units.
Why Glendale Homeowners Build ADUs
Strong rental market: Glendale’s central location between DTLA, Burbank studios, and Pasadena creates premium rental demand. ADU rents range from $1,800–$3,000/month.
Hillside ADU potential: Glendale’s hillside homes often have lower-level space perfect for floor conversion ADUs with separate grade-level entries.
Property value boost: Glendale’s high property values mean an ADU addition can increase your home’s value by $200K–$350K+.
Armenian and multigenerational community: Glendale has a strong multigenerational family culture where ADUs serve as in-law suites, caretaker units, and young adult housing.
Local Permitting
Glendale has its own Community Development Department that reviews ADU permits. The city has adopted an ADU ordinance that aligns with state law. Hillside properties may have additional grading and fire access requirements. We navigate all Glendale-specific conditions.
