Table of Contents

As housing costs continue to rise across California, homeowners are searching for smart, sustainable ways to ease the financial burden of living in the Golden State. One of the most effective — and often overlooked — solutions is right in your backyard.

By building an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) on your property, you can turn unused outdoor space into a steady stream of income. Whether you’re looking to support aging parents, host guests, work remotely, or rent out a unit for profit, ADUs are quickly becoming a popular and profitable solution. At Meka Modular, we specialize in high-quality CA modular home construction that makes this dream easy to achieve.

What Is an ADU?

An ADU, also known as a backyard home, in-law suite, or granny flat, is a smaller, self-contained residential unit built on the same lot as a primary residence. In California, recent changes in zoning laws have made it easier than ever to add these units to your property. And when built using modular construction methods, the process becomes faster, more affordable, and more energy-efficient than traditional builds.

Why Build a Modular ADU?

At Meka Modular, our modular homes are factory-built using precision engineering and eco-friendly materials. Once the unit is complete, it’s transported to your property and installed quickly — often within weeks, not months.

Here’s how building a modular ADU can transform your property and finances:

✅ Generate Rental Income

The average ADU in California rents for $1,500 to $2,500 per month, depending on the location and size. That means you could earn $18,000 to $30,000 annually — enough to offset a mortgage payment or supplement your retirement income.

✅ Boost Your Property Value

Homes with permitted ADUs typically see a significant increase in resale value. Buyers love the flexibility and income potential these units offer, making your property more attractive on the market.

✅ Create Functional Space

Need a home office? A guest suite? A private retreat for adult children or elderly parents? A modular ADU provides flexible space tailored to your lifestyle.
