Build an ADU in Lancaster, CA—smart space with a clear process

Make It

Adding an accessory dwelling unit in Lancaster creates flexible space for family, dependable long-term rental income, or a quiet studio—often on larger Antelope Valley parcels with wide side yards and deep setbacks. MF ADU provides pre-engineered, permit-ready models and a managed path from feasibility to installation—planned for long driveway access, potential septic, and the high-desert climate.

Why Lancaster homeowners choose MF ADU

    Transparent pricing with documented inclusions and site-work allowances (trenching, panel upgrades, access)

  • Done-with-you coordination from feasibility and selections through installation and inspections

  • Durable finishes and assemblies suited to heat, dust, and everyday rental use

  • Popular fits for Lancaster lots

    • Studios & 1-Bed ADUs - Ideal for guest suites, home offices, or caregiver housing with minimal yard impact.

    • 2-Bed ADUs - Common on deeper parcels for multigenerational living or stable rentals while keeping outdoor areas usable.

    • Rear-yard and drive-aisle placements - Discreet entries, noise-aware glazing, and utility routing optimized for longer runs typical of large lots..

Lancaster permitting at a glance

ADUs are allowed on most single-family and many multifamily parcels (site-specific). Typical considerations include setbacks, height, lot coverage, utility locations, and any required parking. Some properties use septic systems; portions of the area may have WUI (wildland-urban interface) considerations or HOA/CC&R design guidance. Our feasibility review checks parcel data, utilities/septic capacity, overlays, and access and maps the cleanest route to approvals. (General info; final eligibility depends on your parcel and current rules.)

What the process looks like

  1. Feasibility & Fit – Review parcel, access, utilities or septic, and the best-fit model.

  2. Selections & Scope – Confirm finishes, options, and site-work assumptions; align foundation and utility plan.

  3. Permits & Approvals – Prepare a permit-ready package and coordinate with the city/county and, if applicable, your HOA.

  4. Site Work & Installation – Foundation, trenching, delivery/assembly, interior finish, inspections.

  5. Handover – Walkthrough, documents, and guidance for rental or guest use.
