Building a Multigenerational ADU in Reseda
Reseda's flat lots and 1950s ranch homes were practically built for ADUs. It's one of the highest-permit-volume zip codes in LA County for detached units.

Reseda families often use ADUs to house adult kids saving for a first home while parents age in the main house.
Multigenerational home guide →What makes Reseda different
- Most Reseda lots are single-story ranches — easy attached bump-outs and garage conversions.
- Strong rental demand near CSUN keeps ADUs cash-flowing when Grandma no longer needs them.
- Flat terrain keeps site prep costs low.
Zoning note: R1 and RA zoning throughout. Sewer capacity checks are the most common permit hangup — pull a will-serve early.
