BUILDING ADUs IN LAKEWOOD
Lakewood updated its municipal code in 2025 to align with Colorado's HB24-1152 state mandate, opening the door for ADU construction across the city. As part of Jefferson County, Lakewood sits in one of the Denver metro's strongest rental markets.
Lakewood's housing stock ranges from mid-century ranchers to newer construction, offering diverse opportunities for ADU builds. Many properties feature larger lots that are ideal for detached backyard units, and the city's proximity to the mountains and Federal Center drives consistent rental demand.
303 Construction has extensive experience building in Lakewood and the broader Jefferson County area. We know the local building codes, the planning process, and the specific lot configurations common in Lakewood neighborhoods.
TYPES OF ADUs IN LAKEWOOD
Lakewood's mid-century ranchers with larger lots are excellent candidates for detached backyard ADUs. Many homes have full basements that can be converted into legal ADU units. Properties with alley access work well for garage conversions.
