SMARTER THAN MOVING

You Don't Need a New Home. You Need a Second One.

Rancho Cucamonga is one of the Inland Empire's most established master-planned communities, built on the old Cucamonga Valley wine country along the historic Route 66 corridor. Family-oriented, well-maintained, and still growing, it's a city where homeowners tend to stay long enough to actually use a second unit, whether that's rental income or space for the next generation.

Same Address, More Space

No new mortgage, no new school district, no goodbye to the Rancho Cucamonga neighbors you know. Just more space, right where you are.

Certainty You Won't Get From a Move

No bidding wars, no move-in surprises, no guessing what a new house actually needs. Just a fixed price, on the Rancho Cucamonga property you already know.

A Home of Their Own, Steps From Yours

Parents, grown kids, or whoever needs it get their own front door and their own space, close enough to see every day.

Why Rancho Cucamonga Homeowners Build With Apex Homes

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 Rancho Cucamonga yourself.

  • Free Feasibility Study: A walk-through of what your Rancho Cucamonga lot allows, in plain language, before you spend a dollar on design.
  • One Team, Start to Finish: Design, permits, and construction all stay with Apex Homes, so you're not managing three different vendors in Rancho Cucamonga.
  • Fixed Price, Honest Timeline: Your quote is agreed upfront and doesn't move. Construction runs about 6 months once permits are approved.
  • Backed by AlphaX RE Capital: Real estate financing and operations expertise behind every build.

ZONING AT A GLANCE

Single-Family Lots (R-1)

One detached or attached ADU plus one Junior ADU per lot. ADUs up to 1,200 sq ft or 50% of the primary dwelling's floor area, whichever is less; JADUs capped at 500 sq ft. Setbacks run 4 ft minimum from side and rear property lines; height caps at 16 ft for detached ADUs. A minimum 6 ft separation applies between the ADU and primary dwelling, and front-yard placement is only permitted when the backyard can't accommodate an 800 sq ft ADU with standard setbacks.

Multi-Family Lots (R-2+)

Up to two detached ADUs permitted on multi-family lots, plus conversion of existing non-livable space like garages and storage rooms, under the same size and setback standards.

What Your Backyard Is Costing You

Every year that yard sits unused in Rancho Cucamonga is rent, equity, and space someone in your family could actually be using.

$1,900–$2,600/mo

Left on the table. That's a realistic range for a well-built two-bedroom ADU in Rancho Cucamonga, one of the stronger rental markets in the Inland Empire.

Six figures

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 Rancho Cucamonga home.

Multigenerational

Without it, aging parents, adult kids, or long-term guests are stuck choosing between crowding your home or leaving Rancho Cucamonga altogether.

None of that has to stay true. Here's what changes once you build.

★★★★★

"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."
