ADU Questions for Modesto Homeowners
What types of renters can I expect for a Modesto ADU?
Modesto ADU renters include Bay Area commuters using ACE Rail, agricultural industry workers and managers, healthcare workers at Memorial Medical Center and Doctors Medical Center, and students at CSU Stanislaus.
How does Modesto ADU permitting work for unincorporated areas?
Properties within Modesto city limits use Modesto Building Division. Properties in unincorporated Stanislaus County use the county's building department. Epic Modulars determines your jurisdiction during the initial site assessment.

Yes. The ACE Train serves the Modesto/Ceres area with service to San Jose and Pleasanton. Renters who want a Bay Area job but can't afford Bay Area housing increasingly choose Modesto.

1-bedroom ADUs in the 450–600 sq ft range offer the best balance. A 1-bed unit at $109K renting for $1,200–$1,400/month gives a payback period under 8 years.
