General contractor in Atwater Village

Atwater Village is mostly modest 1920s to 1940s bungalows on flat, regular lots, many with detached garages at the rear and alley access.

• Flat lots with rear detached garages make this some of the best ADU territory on the eastside.
• Alley access on many blocks simplifies construction staging and can give an ADU its own entrance.
• The houses are small, so whole-house renovation is often more sensible than incremental work.
• Pre-war systems and unbolted foundations are the norm.

LADBS (City of Los Angeles), Metro office

These City of Los Angeles neighborhoods combine hillside lots under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance with flat lots that support ADUs and small-lot projects. Many homes have original foundations and retaining walls that need attention. Street parking and access affect staging and haul routes.
