Chino combines a strong family housing market with a growing logistics and warehouse job base nearby, and lot sizes that give homeowners more usable backyard space than you'd find in denser parts of Southern California. Apex Homes builds throughout Chino with three pre-approved plans already engineered to fit the city's regulations, so there's no starting the design from a blank page.
No new mortgage, no new school district, no goodbye to the Chino neighbors you know. Just more space, right where you are.
No bidding wars, no move-in surprises, no guessing what a new house actually needs. Just a fixed price, on the Chino property you already know.
Parents, grown kids, or whoever needs it get their own front door and their own space, close enough to see every day.
One team handles the entire process under one roof, so you don't have to coordinate a separate architect, permit expediter, and contractor with the City of Chino yourself.
ADU permits in Chino are processed through the Chino Permit Center. From a complete application, permits are typically issued within two to four months, and using a pre-approved plan shortens that window further.
Apex confirms your zoning, measures usable backyard depth, and checks setback and parking requirements against your lot.
Choose from Apex's three pre-approved Chino designs, each with complete permit documentation ready to submit.
Apex compiles your site plan, elevations, structural drawings, and Title 24 compliance, then submits to the Chino Permit Center.
Apex monitors the review and responds directly to any city comments.
Apex manages the full build through final sign-off.
One team, all-in-one: design, permits, and construction, without you having to coordinate a separate architect, expediter, or contractor.
Book a Free ConsultationOne detached or attached ADU plus one Junior ADU per lot. Detached ADUs up to 1,200 sq ft; JADUs up to 500 sq ft. Front setback must match the primary dwelling's setback (not a flat 4 ft); side and rear setbacks run 4 ft minimum. Height caps at 16 ft, one story. A minimum 6 ft separation applies between the ADU and the primary residence, and one on-site parking space is required per new detached ADU, a requirement many California cities have dropped, but Chino still enforces.
Up to two detached ADUs per lot. Existing non-livable spaces, like garages and storage areas, may also be converted to ADUs under the same setback and height standards.
Every year that yard sits unused in Chino is rent, equity, and space someone in your family could actually be using.
Left on the table. That's a realistic range for a well-built two-bedroom ADU in Chino, supported by steady demand from the Inland Empire's growing workforce.
In equity your property isn't capturing yet. A legal, permitted ADU is one of the few upgrades that adds this much value to a Chino home.
Without it, aging parents, adult kids, or long-term guests are stuck choosing between crowding your home or leaving Chino altogether.
None of that has to stay true. Here's what changes once you build.
Every floor plan includes architectural drawings, structural engineering, and Title 24 compliance, with three designs already pre-approved to Chino's standards.

"I'm usually stingy with five-star reviews, but Apex Homes absolutely rocks. From the first call, they treated my scattershot sketches like gold: polished the design, wrangled the permits so I never saw City Hall, and kept every penny transparent."
