Why ADUs Work Well in Beaumont

Large, modern subdivision lots. Many of Beaumont’s neighborhoods were built with deeper lots and accessible side yards—ideal for detached ADUs, backyard casitas and separate guest houses.
Significant renter and commuter demand. Beaumont attracts families working in Redlands, Loma Linda, Riverside and Palm Springs, increasing long-term ADU rental strength.
State-setback protections apply. California ADU law guarantees 4-foot side and rear setbacks for most detached ADUs, making many Beaumont parcels ADU-feasible.
Owner-occupancy permanently removed. Under state law (AB 976), Beaumont cannot require owners to live on-site for permitted ADUs.
