If you’re selling
Prices are down from last year, so pricing from the most recent nearby sales matters more than ever. Well-priced homes are still selling for close to full price in about four weeks, while homes priced too high tend to sit.
If you’re buying
Allied Gardens offers mid-century single-family homes from the 1950s, with condos along Mission Gorge Road at lower price points and hillside homes in nearby Del Cerro. Get pre-approved so you’re ready when the right home comes up.
If you own and want more income
Many Allied Gardens lots are flat, mid-century parcels with room for a detached ADU or a garage conversion. Hillside lots in nearby Del Cerro need a closer look at access and grading before you design.

Adding an ADU in Allied Gardens and Del Cerro
Allied Gardens is in the City of San Diego, so ADUs follow the city’s rules. Here is what shapes most projects.
- How many: a single-family lot can usually add one detached ADU, one converted ADU, and one JADU of up to 500 square feet inside the home.
- Size and setbacks: a detached ADU can be up to 1,200 square feet, with 4-foot side and rear setbacks.
- Parking: usually none required within a half mile of major transit. Streets near the Grantville Trolley station may qualify, while much of Allied Gardens is farther away, so check your address.
- Bonus ADUs: the city’s ADU Home Density Bonus Program can allow more units on some lots, but the City Council narrowed it in 2025 and added parking and fee requirements for many projects.
- Rules change, so confirm details with the City of San Diego before you design.
