Living in a $350k California ADU

Full walkthrough tour of a 500 sq ft Abodu One, where I actually tested the kitchen out and stayed overnight in this San Jose Accessory Dwelling Unit.

    Those doors and windows are fantastic. It really elevates the house.

    Yeah! Those tall side windows are standard in the base model too. It’s really nice. The accordion door is a $25k extra but it is so nice. I’m a tiny bit obsessed.

    Hi Joseph! Interesting seeing you here. Just wanted to thank you. … I’ve used some of your ADU tips while constructing. (Extra Water spouts, LV conduits, backing for TV mount, waterproofing near the base etc). Very useful.

    Nice! A good first step to doing it on your own is to check with the local planning department. If you’re going to hire a company like Abodu in the video, you can start there since they’ll include permitting in the pricing.

    350k is not worth it.. prefab in the way for the future in high priced California. What do you think about boxabl located in Nevada… cheap solution

    I generally say that the advantage of these prefab units is that you limit your onsite disruption. They tend to cost about the same as onsite construction, on average, in my experience. That other company, according to the last circular they released, didn't actually build any homes up to California building code standards and they have repeatedly refused to send me construction documents or other info needed to plan and permit an ADU. Watch Meet Kevin's video of the factory tour if you want all the details :)

    $350k is too high. I guess for a turn key ADU people will pay.

  • @HowToADU

    Thanks for watching! Yeah, I think the key here is that the on-site disruption is really reduced by the offsite construction. So this property with 3 other units can continue renting/living/STRin without disruption. Also worth noting that the base unit is closer to $270k. There are lots of extras included in this specific ADU like the $25k glass accordion door, $20k vertical cedar siding, $10k wood deck, $7900 appliance upgrade to Fisher Paykel, $5600 metal roof, $3800 custom built in cabinet bench, and so on.

    When I checked Airbnb, they had another unit on the property listed so I’m not sure what their policy is at this moment. But I bet yes if you want me to ask.
