01
Why West Hills homeowners build ADUs
West Hills is one of San Fernando Valley's strongest markets for accessory dwelling units. Property values in the neighborhood have appreciated steadily, rental demand is consistent, and California state law gives West Hills homeowners powerful new rights to add a permitted ADU to their lot.
West Hills ADUs have strong long-term value, particularly for families using them as guest suites or rentals. For families, an ADU means flexible space for aging parents, adult children, or a dedicated home office. For investors, it means $2,000–$5,000/month in rental income and meaningful resale appreciation.
AER Builders™ designs and constructs ADUs, JADUs, garage conversions, and home additions across West Hills and the surrounding San Fernando Valley — managing architecture, permits, and construction under one accountable team.

Permits in West Hills

Rental income potential in West Hills.
Based on current market rents, a well-built detached ADU in West Hills typically generates $2,500–$3,700 per month in long-term rental income. Smaller garage conversions and JADUs typically rent below this range; larger 2-bedroom detached units rent above it.
For most West Hills homeowners, that rental income exceeds the monthly debt service of an ADU construction loan, making the project cash-flow positive from day one — and adding lasting equity to the property.
