Beverly Hills has long been known for its luxury homes and wealthy residents. However, recent changes to ADU (accessory dwelling unit) regulations have made building ADUs an attractive option for both homeowners and developers in this iconic Southern California city.
An ADU, sometimes called a granny flat or guest house, is a secondary dwelling unit on the same grounds as a primary single-family home. As one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, Beverly Hills has not traditionally been a place associated with ADUs. This perception is rapidly changing due to new city ordinances and state laws that make adding an ADU much more feasible.
For homeowners, building an ADU can provide supplemental rental income by housing a tenant. The unit could also accommodate a family member or live-in caregiver. For developers and contractors, constructing and marketing ADUs represents a potentially lucrative opportunity in Beverly Hills’ high-value real estate market.
New City Ordinances Reduce Barriers to ADU Construction
In 2020, Beverly Hills updated its ADU policies to comply with changes to California’s state ADU law. The city’s new regulations have made the ADU permitting and approval process substantially easier compared to the past. Key updates include:
- Elimination of additional parking requirements for ADUs within 1⁄2 mile of public transit. Over 90% of Beverly Hills properties are now exempt from any extra parking obligations.
- Allowance for up to 800 square foot ADUs on lots over 18,500 square feet. This provides ample size for a full apartment or guest house.
- Streamlining the review process for ADU permit applications.
- Permission to construct detached new-construction ADUs, converted existing spaces, additions to the primary dwelling, and conversion of existing accessory structures.
- Allowance for JADUs (Junior ADUs) with basic kitchenettes, creating flexible living spaces.
These changes have already spurred a wave of new ADU projects within Beverly Hills. City data indicates over 200 applications were filed to build ADUs in 2021 alone compared to less than 20 annually before the updated regulations.
The Benefits of Building an ADU in Beverly Hills
From an economic standpoint, adding an ADU in Beverly Hills can be highly attractive:
Lucrative Rental Potential – Given the extremely high rents in Beverly Hills, homeowners can charge tenants upwards of $5,000+ per month for well-appointed ADUs. These supplement owners’ incomes without needing to lease the main house.
Property Value Increase – Constructing an ADU boosts the underlying value of the land and buildings. The addition of a legal rental unit and potential rental income stream translates into a higher sale price.
Flexibility – An ADU functions as flexible space that can meet different needs over time – housing relatives, caregivers, guests, office space, etc.
Grandfathering – ADUs built now will be grandfathered in under the existing regulations if policies change later.
Construction and Design of Beverly Hills ADUs
Thanks to the 2020 zoning updates, ADUs can now be built new or converted from existing floorspace in a wide variety of configurations:
- Detached New-Construction – A standalone guest house structure is built from the ground up behind or adjacent to the main house. This allows complete separation.
- Attached Addition – An extension is added to the primary dwelling, creating an attached apartment or wing that shares one common wall.
- Garage Conversion – Transforming existing garage space into a living area is a cost-effective option for ADUs.
- Interior Conversion – Remodeling basement space, attics, or unused rooms within the main home to become a self-contained ADU.
Almost any architectural style that matches the primary home can be implemented for detached Beverly Hills ADUs. Contemporary guest houses with clean lines, lots of glass and light are especially popular. Attached units or conversions usually match the main home’s look more closely.

We contracted Surfside Builders Group to do a basement renovation which included installing a new bathroom. Site supervisor Simon did an excellent job of coordinating the many sub-contractors to ensure that the project kept on schedule. As a result, our renovation project was completed on schedule which is something you don’t hear very often with home renovations. The sub-contractors showed up when expected and completed their work in a professional manner. We were very happy with the completed basement renovation, the quality of work and the attention to detail. We would definitely recommend Surfside Builders Group for any home renovations you are considering.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: Knowledge & ExpertiseSimply outstanding. We've had 5 separate contractors work on our antique Victorian home over the last 15 years, all engaged to implement modern, state-of-the-art, minimalist/contemporary design directions within our 1896 exterior. Without question --and by a large margin --Simon and his colleagues at Surfside Builders Group remain the hands-down winners in every respect. We would be hard-pressed to put our admiration of and appreciation for Simon and Surfside Builders Group into words: they delivered superlative work under or within spitting distance of our budget; there were no surprises on budget or timing; their communication is excellent; their trades are highest quality in performance.
