What's the difference between a casita and an ADU?

The terms overlap. A casita is typically a detached guest structure; an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) is a fully independent living unit with its own kitchen, bath, and entrance. We build both — and can tell you which your lot and goals call for.

Can I rent out a casita?

Often yes, depending on local zoning and whether it's a full ADU. We'll help you understand what your property allows before you build.
