The Summit: Your Cozy 510 Sq Ft Modular Gem

Okay, let’s talk about The Summit. This little beauty is a 510 sq ft, 1-bed, 1-bath modular home that’s basically the cool kid in the ADU world. Small enough to fit neatly in your backyard, big enough to actually live in comfortably, and priced in a way that won’t send you spiraling.

The base price? A smooth $129,000. But here’s the part you’ll love: Epic Modulars doesn’t leave you hanging with “mystery math.” They actually give you the all-in cost range up front, from $216,800 to $246,800. That includes construction plans, the actual home, transport, crane-in or roll-in, trenching and connecting utilities, set-in-place assembly, and even California sales tax. What’s not included are the extras every jurisdiction loves to throw in like permit fees, city add-ons, or site-specific engineering. Basically, the secret sauce is transparency.

Now, the layout. The Summit is proof that 510 square feet can stretch further than you think. You’ve got a bedroom that feels private, a bathroom that doesn’t feel like an afterthought, and a living space that flows right into a sleek kitchen. Add the optional deck and front-door awning, and suddenly you’ve got “wine-on-the-patio at sunset” vibes without the Napa price tag.

And because this is Epic Modulars, it’s not just about four walls and a roof. They know homeowners want fewer headaches. So they spell out what’s included, they help guide the permitting process, and they crane the unit into place for you. It’s as close to plug-and-play living as housing gets.

Who’s it for?

Here’s the fun part. The Summit is basically a chameleon that fits into lots of lifestyles. Thinking of building an ADU in San Jose or anywhere in Santa Clara County for rental income? This layout is perfect. Need extra space for visiting family or a private spot for aging parents? It works beautifully as a guest house in Santa Clara. Or maybe you’ve been dreaming of your own peaceful retreat in the backyard, something modern but manageable. The Summit gives you exactly that.

It’s not oversized, so you won’t end up cleaning rooms you never use. It’s not underbuilt either, so you still get comfort and style without compromise. For homeowners searching for a modular home in San Jose that feels balanced, practical, and stylish, the Summit hits that sweet spot. And if you’re a first-time buyer eyeing a modular ADU in Santa Clara County, this one gives you a safe, transparent, and straightforward path to ownership. Basically, it’s housing without the headaches, and that’s the kind of energy we’re all chasing.

If you’re comparing, The Summit is somewhere between our two other layouts: the Crest (435 sq ft) and the Apex (780 sq ft). You can check the features of these two options, too, to understand it better.
