Long Beach is the second-largest city in Los Angeles County and one of the most diverse construction markets in Greater Los Angeles. With a large housing stock of Craftsman bungalows, California Spanish homes, and post-war construction, growing ADU demand in its residential neighborhoods, and a strong small business sector, Long Beach generates consistent demand for remodeling, additions, ADU construction, and commercial tenant improvements. APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) is a licensed general contractor serving Long Beach homeowners and small businesses.
Long Beach has one of the most active ADU markets in Southern California. The city processes ADU permits through its Development Services Department, and has embraced streamlined ADU permitting aligned with state law. Strong rental demand from CSU Long Beach, the Port of Long Beach workforce, and LA Metro area commuters drives ADU rental rates to $1,700–$2,500/month for a one-bedroom unit.
Long Beach neighborhoods like Belmont Heights, Bixby Knolls, Los Cerritos, and Naples have a mix of older homes with garages that convert well to ADUs. APLA manages Long Beach ADU projects from design through Certificate of Occupancy. See our complete ADU cost guide for Los Angeles.
