ADUs in Inglewood

New stadium, new Metro line and strong demand for housing: Inglewood is changing fast, and a well-built ADU is a direct way to take part in it.

What applies to your lot

Building an ADU in Inglewood

Who approves your ADU

City of Inglewood: ADUs follow Article 35 of Chapter 12 of the Inglewood Municipal Code. State law applies everywhere: a decision within 60 days of a complete application, no public hearing, and at least 800 sq ft with 4 ft side and rear setbacks.

Near the K Line

Within half a mile of a transit stop, no parking can be required for the ADU. Much of Inglewood is close to the Metro K Line.

Quiet inside

Parts of the city are under the LAX flight path. We plan windows, insulation and ventilation so the unit stays quiet and comfortable.

One ADU plus one JADU

On a single-family lot, you can add one ADU and one junior ADU inside the house.
