Palms homeowners who need more space have strong reason to add rather than move. The neighborhood’s $900K–$1.5M home values, flat lots, and Westside location make room additions here financially compelling — adding a master suite, home office, or family room to an existing Palms bungalow is typically far more cost-effective than buying a larger home in the same area. Combined with a backyard ADU, a Palms room addition + ADU project can simultaneously add personal space and generate $2,300–$4,200/month in rental income. APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) builds Palms room additions with LADBS expertise and Westside project experience.
Ground-level addition on Palms flat lots. 200 sq ft addition: $64,000–$87,000. 400 sq ft master suite or family room addition: $128,000–$174,000. Flat lots, no Coastal Zone (for most of Palms east of Lincoln), standard LADBS permits.
Adding a second story is effective in Palms where a rear ADU is also being planned — it preserves the rear yard for the ADU while adding square footage above. 500 sq ft second-story: $187,500–$255,000.
Dedicated primary bedroom and en-suite bathroom. 300–450 sq ft. Walk-in closet, spa bathroom with tile and frameless shower enclosure. The most common Palms room addition type for owner-occupants.
Single-story: $320–$435/sq ft. Second-story: $375–$510/sq ft. Master suite: $130,000–$240,000. Palms runs at West LA pricing — slightly below Culver City and Mar Vista, above the Valley for addition work.
