Lakewood Homes with ADU, Casita & Guest House
Why Lakewood is Great for ADUs
Lakewood’s family-friendly neighborhoods, wide lots, and supportive zoning make it a prime city for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), casitas, or guest houses. Many homes already have detached garages perfect for conversion or plenty of backyard space for building new ADUs. The city aligns with California’s ADU laws for smoother approvals.
