Monterey's historic neighborhoods and high property values make ADU construction an especially smart investment. Rental demand from defense workers at the Presidio, MIIS students, and tourism hospitality workers keeps Monterey vacancy rates among the lowest on the Central Coast.
Building in Monterey requires navigating both City of Monterey and Monterey County regulations, depending on your location. Peninsula Construction has extensive experience with both jurisdictions and knows how to move your ADU project through permitting efficiently.
Meet Richard RodriguezThe City of Monterey has adopted California's streamlined ADU ordinance, making it easier than ever to add a rental unit to your property. Historic district properties may have design guidelines to follow — Peninsula Construction's design options ensure your ADU respects the neighborhood character.
Peninsula Construction builds all five ADU types in Monterey. We'll help you determine which type maximizes your property's potential.
A fully separate structure in your backyard. Maximum privacy and rental value. Custom designed to your lot.
Connected to your main home but with a separate entrance. Cost-effective with shared wall construction.
The most affordable ADU path. We convert your existing garage into a fully permitted living space.
Up to 500 sq ft carved out of your existing home. Lower cost, faster permits, great for in-law suites.
Maximize square footage on smaller lots by building up. Ideal for Monterey properties with limited yard space.
