Why Every LA Home Needs a Pool House or ADU
HANNAH A · October 10 2025
Los Angeles isn’t just a city—it’s a lifestyle. Sunshine nearly year-round, diverse neighborhoods, and a booming housing market make LA living both exciting and competitive. That’s why more and more homeowners are maximizing their properties by adding pool houses or Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Whether you’re looking to increase property value, host guests, or generate rental income, adding an extra unit is one of the smartest investments you can make in LA right now.
Here’s why every LA home should consider one:
1. Passive Income in a Pricey Market
LA’s rental demand is sky-high—and so are the prices. ADUs can be legally rented out, offering a consistent stream of income. From short-term vacation rentals to long-term tenants, a well-designed ADU can easily bring in thousands per month, helping homeowners offset mortgage costs or build savings.
Bonus: Many neighborhoods are now zoned to support ADUs, and California laws have made it easier than ever to get approval.
2. More Space for Guests, Family, or Work
Need a home office? Guest suite? Space for aging parents or college kids? A pool house or ADU gives you flexible space without sacrificing privacy or square footage in the main home. It’s the perfect blend of connected-yet-separate living—ideal for multi-generational households or work-from-home professionals.
3. Property Value Boost
Adding a pool house or ADU isn’t just trendy—it’s smart. These structures can significantly increase your home’s appraised value and resale appeal. In LA’s competitive market, a home with a functional ADU or luxurious pool house often sells faster and for more.
