Education on Aging for All Ages

Celebrate with Us!!!

This month's Local Spotlight*

Every month we like to highlight someone in our community who inspires us.

This time, it’s HK Development Group who helps homeowners create additional income, add value to their homes, and design spaces that support changing needs—whether for family, rental income, or aging in place.

Most San Diego homeowners don't realize their backyard worth $2,000+ a month.

If you've owned your home for more than five years, there's a good chance your lot qualifies for an Accessory Dwelling Unit - a small second home built on your existing property. Done right, it can rent for $1,500–$2,500/month or more in most San Diego neighborhoods, adds six figures to your property value, and keeps you in the home you've spent decades building equity in.

HK Development Group manages the entire process - from figuring out if your property qualifies, through design, permits, and construction - so you're not left navigating the city alone.
