Pomona pairs strong rental demand — driven by Cal Poly Pomona and Western University — with a wide range of established neighborhoods, making it one of the most versatile ADU markets we serve. We have built here for families creating a safe, single-story home for aging parents while also adding future rental income, and the process felt, in one homeowner’s words, smooth with no stress whatsoever.
From the historic homes of Lincoln Park to the larger lots in the north and the neighborhoods near the colleges, Pomona offers real flexibility on size and placement. Single-story, accessible designs are especially popular here for multigenerational living, and we design them for genuine independence.
At just five miles from our Upland office, Pomona projects get fast, attentive service.
