        "text": "In neighborhoods like Sherman Oaks, Valley Village, and Tarzana, you’re usually under the City of Los Angeles rules, but with local realities like smaller lots, alleys, and existing garages that shape ADU design. Many Valley properties are ideal for garage conversions or compact detached ADUs tucked behind the main house. \n\nBecause these areas are popular for rentals and multi‑generational living, ADUs often add strong value when designed and placed thoughtfully.\n\nKey factors:\n- Lot depth and access from alleys or side yards\n- Existing detached garages that can be converted or rebuilt\n- Neighbor privacy and window placement\n- Parking and driveway configurations\n\nA local ADU builder who works regularly in the Valley can suggest layouts that respect privacy, fit tight lots, and navigate LADBS expectations. Ask to see photos or drives of completed ADUs in similar nearby neighborhoods."
