It is possible to build affordable and sustainable housing that enables families to live close, maintain privacy, and build wealth.


Perpetual Homes ADU of Danville offers an exciting new way to help people into their own homes. The solution is to add a backyard home, also known as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). These sustainable and turnkey ADUs built in backyards are energy efficient homes also known as granny flats, in-law units, secondary dwelling units and tiny houses.


These custom designed cottages are loaded with full-size kitchen appliances, shaker cabinets, quartz or granite countertops, high vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light — all in for a low price beginning in the $189,000s. What makes a Perpetual Homes ADU stand out is that it offers high-end amenities included

in one low price.


Perpetual Homes offers a wide variety of floor plans ranging from one to three bedrooms (430 square feet to 1,200 square feet). The company has over 35 years of Bay Area homebuilding experience. They manage the entire process from start to finish: from initial site inspection, permitting, site preparation, foundation, utility connections, construction, site cleanup, final inspections and if wanted, property management. It’s hassle-free and worry-free.


There are many reasons to add an ADU. Some buyers want to bring in extra rental income, others love having a private retreat where aging parents or loved ones can live. Renting out your main house and living in an ADU in your backyard is becoming popular as well. In many cases, the main house rent covers both mortgages.


“Thousands of new ADUs are being built in communities across the U.S. because they are a manageable and minimally disruptive option for adding desperately needed housing to existing neighborhoods,” says Kathy Anderson, founder and managing partner of Perpetual Homes. Perpetual Homes’ ADUs cost approximately 50% less than the on-site “stick built” contractor version and provide a much cleaner job site.


New laws also make it easier to add an ADU in California than ever before, including no minimum lot size is required; side yard and rear yard setbacks of only 4 feet are allowed; no owner occupant condition; and no city or municipality impact fees under 750 square feet for an ADU.
