Apartments for Rent in Chino Hills, CA

자주 묻는 질문

  • How many apartments for rent are listed in Chino Hills, CA?

    Expect a smaller pool than a city of 78,411 people would suggest, and expect it to look unusual. Chino Hills was incorporated out of master-planned hillside tracts, so purpose-built apartment complexes are thin on the ground and a large share of what is advertised as an apartment for rent is a condo, a townhome or a detached house. Roomster shows 33 apartments for rent around the city, running from Los Serranos and the SR-71 side through Butterfield Ranch and Payne Ranch out toward Carbon Canyon Road. Read each listing for the property type before you compare prices, because a condo and a garden apartment are not the same product here.

  • How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Chino Hills, CA?

    A one-bedroom averages roughly $2,483, with the range running from about $1,500 to $3,570, and a two-bedroom sits near $2,815, putting the citywide average around $2,573. You can find one-bedrooms under $2,200 a month in Los Serranos and in the older buildings along the Carbon Canyon Road end of the city, while the newer condos in Butterfield Ranch and near the Vellano side ask the most. For scale, neighboring Chino averages about $2,018 for a one-bedroom across 684 square feet and $2,554 for a two-bedroom across 981, so staying on the flat side of the city line saves roughly $450 a month on a one-bedroom.

  • Is there rent control on apartments for rent in Chino Hills?

    Chino Hills has no local rent control ordinance, so the statewide Tenant Protection Act, AB 1482, is what governs: on covered units it caps increases at 5 percent plus CPI, or 10 percent, whichever is lower, in any 12-month period, and it applies after 12 months of tenancy. The exemption matters more here than in almost any city, though. Single-family homes and condominiums are exempt when the owner is an individual rather than a REIT, a corporation, or an LLC with a corporate member, and the owner gives the required written notice - which, for a tenancy started or renewed on or after July 1, 2020, has to appear in the rental agreement itself. In a city that is 71.6 percent owner-occupied and built almost entirely of houses and condos, that exemption covers a large slice of what is for rent, so read your lease for the notice.

  • What deposit and fees should I expect on a Chino Hills apartment for rent?

    California tightened this in 2024 and the change is significant. Under AB 12, any deposit collected on or after July 1, 2024 is capped at one month's rent, furnished or unfurnished, replacing the old ceilings of two months unfurnished and three months furnished. The exception you are likely to meet in Chino Hills, where so many rentals are individually owned houses, is that a landlord who is a natural person - or an LLC whose members are all natural persons - owning no more than 2 residential rental properties with no more than 4 units between them may still collect two months. When you leave, Civil Code 1950.5 requires an itemized written statement of deductions and any balance within 21 days.

  • Are there apartments for rent near Chino Hills' main commute routes?

    Everything here is organized around freeways rather than stations, since the city runs no fixed-route bus and relies on OmniLink dial-a-ride at $2.50 a trip. The four roads that matter are SR-71, the Chino Valley Freeway running north toward SR-60; SR-60 itself for the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles; SR-91 heading west into Orange County; and SR-142, Carbon Canyon Road, the direct link over the hill to Brea. For a rail commute you drive to Pomona-North on Metrolink's San Bernardino Line, which sees about 44 trains each weekday. Apartments on the Los Serranos and SR-71 side put you nearest that option.

  • How do Chino Hills apartment rents compare with Chino, Pomona and the rest of the area?

    Chino Hills sits at the top of its immediate neighborhood, and the line between it and Chino is the sharpest break. A Chino one-bedroom averages about $2,018 and a two-bedroom $2,554, against roughly $2,483 and $2,815 here, so a short move north or west trims several hundred dollars a month. What the premium buys is specific and easy to name: the Chino Valley Unified attendance zones that draw families here, hillside neighborhoods backing onto Chino Hills State Park and its 60 miles of trails, and a shorter run down Carbon Canyon Road to Orange County jobs than most of the Inland Empire can offer.
