Tierrasanta real estate agent for buying, selling, and ADUs.
I’m Zach, a real estate broker at Utmost. I’ve personally closed $201 million in home sales across 267 transactions, I’ve helped Tierrasanta buyers and sellers with everything from single-family homes on quiet courts to homes near the canyon green belts, and I help owners plan ADUs here too.

The Tierrasanta housing market
In September 2026, the median home in 92124 sold for $891,738, down 8.5% from a year earlier. Homes sold in a median of 29 days, for 99.0% of list price on average, and 49 homes sold, up from 41 a year before.
If you’re selling
Prices are down from last year even as more homes sell, so buyers are watching value closely. Homes priced from the right nearby sales are selling for close to full price in about four weeks, while homes priced too high tend to sit.
If you’re buying
Tierrasanta offers single-family homes, condos, and townhomes built from the 1970s on, surrounded by canyon green belts and Mission Trails Regional Park. With prices down from last year, get pre-approved so you can act when the right home comes up.
If you own and want more income
Many Tierrasanta lots back onto canyons, so a garage conversion or JADU can be simpler than a detached ADU. Canyon-edge lots and HOA rules need a closer look before you design.
Tierrasanta neighborhoods
Tierrasanta
A planned community started in 1971 on former Camp Elliott land, with single-family homes, condos, and townhomes on curving streets and courts, linked by canyon green belts with walking paths.
Along Mission Trails
The eastern edge borders Mission Trails Regional Park, about 8,000 acres of open space, with a park entrance at the east end of Clairemont Mesa Boulevard.
Above the San Diego River
Homes on the southern edge overlook the San Diego River valley and Admiral Baker Golf Course, with quick access to I-15, Friars Road, and Mission Valley.
Schools: most Tierrasanta homes are in the San Diego Unified School District. Check boundaries for a specific address on the district site.
Tierrasanta wraps its neighborhoods around canyon green belts, with Mission Trails Regional Park on its eastern edge and quick access to I-15 and SR-52. I’ll help you find the street that fits.
Adding an ADU in Tierrasanta
Tierrasanta 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.
- Fire zones and canyons: lots next to canyons and open space in Tierrasanta may be in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where fire-resistant construction applies and the city’s bonus ADU program is limited.
- HOAs: state law keeps HOAs from banning ADUs on single-family lots, but they can set reasonable design rules, so check your CC&Rs before you design.
- Parking: usually none required within a half mile of major transit. Much of Tierrasanta is farther from transit, so check whether your address qualifies.
- Rules change, so confirm details with the City of San Diego before you design.
