ADUs for Rent in San Jose

Housing costs in the South Bay push a lot of renters toward compromises — a longer commute, a shared unit, or less space than they wanted. Accessory dwelling units are a different trade: a self-contained home on the lot of an existing house, usually with its own entrance and often with outdoor space.

San Jose's ADU stock ranges from compact junior units built into an existing home to fully detached backyard cottages, which means the options vary a great deal in size and price. Being spread across residential neighbourhoods rather than clustered in complexes, they also tend to come with easier parking and quieter surroundings.
