Santa Clara sits inside one of the densest employment corridors in the country, home to Intel, NVIDIA, and Levi's Stadium, and a lot of its post-war ranch homes were built with real backyard depth. That's exactly the layout a detached ADU fits into without crowding the main house.
No new mortgage, no new school district, no goodbye to the Santa Clara neighbors you know. Just more space, right where you are.
No bidding wars, no move-in surprises, no guessing what a new house actually needs. Just a fixed price, on the Santa Clara property you already know.
Parents, grown kids, or whoever needs it get their own front door and their own space, close enough to see every day.
One team handles the entire process under one roof, so you don't have to coordinate a separate architect, permit expediter, and contractor with the City of Santa Clara yourself.
We manage every step of design, permitting, and construction, so you don't have to navigate the City of Santa Clara's process on your own.

Setbacks run 4 ft minimum with 6 ft separation from the main residence; height caps at 18 ft for a single story. Your free feasibility study confirms the exact numbers for your lot.
Up to two detached ADUs that meet standard height and setback rules, plus additional attached ADUs converted from non-livable space like garages or storage.
Every year that yard sits unused in Santa Clara is rent, equity, and space someone in your family could actually be using.
Left on the table. That's what a well-built two-bedroom ADU could be earning you right now, driven by steady demand from Santa Clara's tech and stadium-district workforce.
In equity your property isn't capturing yet. A legal, permitted ADU is one of the few upgrades that adds this much value to a Santa Clara home.
Without it, aging parents, adult kids, or long-term guests are stuck choosing between crowding your home or leaving Santa Clara altogether.
None of that has to stay true. Here's what changes once you build.
Every floor plan includes architectural drawings, structural engineering, and Title 24 compliance, sized to fit Santa Clara's generous post-war lot depths.

"I'm usually stingy with five-star reviews, but Apex Homes absolutely rocks. From the first call, they treated my scattershot sketches like gold: polished the design, wrangled the permits so I never saw City Hall, and kept every penny transparent."

A look at completed Apex Homes ADU builds across the Bay Area.
service includes:
A 991 sq ft 3-bed / 2-bath detached ADU in San Jose, fully condo-converted under AB 1033 and ready for separate sale — either the main house or the ADU can be acquired, financed, and resold on its own.
service includes:
Set on a corner lot in San Jose, this 983 sqft, two-story ADU is positioned at the rear of the property. It's a placement that lets a growing family live together today, and converts just as easily to a rental down the road.
service includes:
A 749 sq ft, 2-bed / 2-bath detached ADU in San Jose, built turnkey alongside a full remodel and ADU-title-conversion of the existing main house. The owner ends up with two independent rental units on a single 7,800 sq ft lot.
service includes:
A 1,200 sq ft, 3-bed / 2-bath detached ADU added to a duplex lot in central San Jose — taking the property from two income units to three, with the new ADU placed at the rear of a deep narrow lot and four mature trees preserved through construction.
Design-builders, general contractors, and prefab vendors each cover part of the job. Apex Homes covers all of it, in-house.
