United Dwelling

United Dwelling was a Los Angeles-based real estate development company founded in 2018 by venture capitalist Steven Dietz to address the affordable housing shortage by converting underused garages and backyards into accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The company offered studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom zero-net-carbon units ranging from 328 to 647 square feet and handled permitting, construction, financing, and property management end to end. It raised a $10 million Series B in May 2020 led by Alpha Edison with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners. The business appears to have wound down - its website has lapsed (Squarespace account expired) and its Los Angeles location is marked closed as of mid-2026 - and it publishes no public API or developer program.

United Dwelling is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Real-Estate, Housing, Accessory Dwelling Units, and Construction.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/united-dwelling: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
