Serving Chino Hills, CA
Hot Tubs & Swim Spas for Chino Hills Shoppers
Chino Hills borders Brea directly, and Carbon Canyon Road is the only road that connects the city straight into Orange County. Our Brea showroom sits on the other side of that ridge. Chino Hills shoppers come over to sit in a spa with water in it before they decide.
Why Chino Hills Shoppers Visit Our Brea Showroom
Chino Hills sits in San Bernardino County, directly east of Brea over the hills on State Route 142, Carbon Canyon Road.
We don't have a branch in Chino Hills. The showroom that serves you is Brea, at 270 N. Brea Blvd, which is where you can see these running with water in them. Call that store direct on (657) 295-1300.
Chino Hills Neighborhoods We Deliver To
Chino Hills was rural until the mid-1970s, boomed in the late 1980s and incorporated on 1 December 1991, so nearly the whole city is planned subdivision. We will not guess a build year for your tract, because nothing the city publishes supports one. What differs is the yard. Los Serranos runs on a street grid around a country club that opened in 1925, and its lots are the most irregular in the city. Carbon Canyon and Sleepy Hollow sit along State Route 142 on canyon floor and canyon wall parcels, with narrow private lanes and real grade. Los Ranchos is the single largest residential area in Chino Hills. Rolling Ridge, Butterfield Ranch and Rincon Village are the other big production tracts, with Butterfield Ranch Road and Pomona Rincon Road as their arterials. Gordon Ranch is hillside cluster planning, small pads inside large open space. Western Hills has the largest minimum lot of any tract subdistrict. Vellano is private golf and custom hillside homes around an 18-hole Greg Norman course. Vila Borba is the newest and mostly townhomes.
The Homes and Backyards in Chino Hills
Nobody has inventoried Chino Hills architecture, so we will tell you only what we see. Los Serranos and the canyon pockets hold low single-story California Ranch houses and small canyon cottages and cabins. The tracts are Inland Empire production housing, and the Vellano hillside homes are larger and more elaborate. The code is where the yard numbers live. The base low density zone requires a 7,200 square foot lot at 50 feet of width, 60 feet average, with building coverage capped at 40 percent. The named tract subdistricts mostly run smaller. Seville Knolls allows 3,300 square feet on a 37 foot width, Galloping Hills, Montefiore and Gordon Ranch 4,200, and Hunters Hill, Richland Highlands and Inverness 5,000. Western Hills is the outlier at 0.4 acre, 17,424 square feet, coverage to 45 percent, which gives it the deepest standard yards in the city. Rear setbacks are 15 feet in the base zone and 20 feet at Gordon Ranch and Western Hills.
Why Chino Hills Homeowners Choose a Hot Tub or Swim Spa
Chino Hills is an outdoor city that happens to look suburban. Density runs about 1,756 people per square mile across 44.70 square miles, low for Southern California, because so much of the city is undeveloped hills and state park. There are 40-plus city parks, roughly 60 miles of trails and fire roads inside Chino Hills State Park, and the McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center with its barn and arenas. People here already live outside. Of 25,258 households, 71.6 percent are owner-occupied and the median age is 39.5. That is the profile of a household that finishes a back yard rather than waits out a lease.
Getting a Spa Into a Chino Hills Backyard
Two things decide a delivery. The first is the side yard. Interior side setbacks in the named tracts run 5 feet at Hunters Hill, Richland Highlands, Galloping Hills, Montefiore, Inverness, Gordon Ranch, Van Daele and Hillcrest, and as little as 3.5 feet at Seville Knolls. Those are zoning setbacks, building face to property line, not the clear width of your gate. The code also sends the air conditioner, the pool equipment and the satellite dish into the rear or side yard, screened, so the route a spa wants is often already occupied. We measure on site. The second is masonry. The city exempts a 6 foot fence only in light material and masonry walls only to 4 feet, so the common 6 foot block wall is permitted construction. A block wall does not unscrew like a fence panel, and taking it down is permit work. Add a rear slope or a canyon lot and a roll-in becomes a crane lift.
Using It Year-Round in Chino Hills
Chino Hills sits inland at 860 feet, on the dry side of the ridge from the Orange County basin. Summer afternoons run near 90 with essentially no rain from June through September. Winter afternoons sit around 68 to 70 degrees and overnight lows near 41, which is the whole argument. The yard is genuinely cold after dark from December through February and mild by day. Rain totals the low to mid teens of inches, concentrated November through March. Nothing here forces winterizing.

Common Questions From Chino Hills
- Do I need a permit to put a hot tub in my Chino Hills back yard?
- Yes, and it comes from the city, not San Bernardino County and not the City of Chino. The building code the city has adopted requires a permit for electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing work, and the exemption list covers only prefabricated pools under 24 inches deep and 5,000 gallons installed entirely above ground. A spa holds deeper water than that, and its dedicated 240 volt circuit is permitted electrical work regardless. Confirm scope with Building and Safety at (909) 364-2780.
- Does a spa mean I have to fence my yard?
- California counts a hot tub as a swimming pool, and a new spa at a single family home normally needs two of seven drowning prevention features. Hot tubs and spas with locking safety covers that comply with the ASTM F1346 standard are exempt from that article, and most factory hard covers on quality spas are built to it. That is the state framework, so confirm the current text and the city's adoption with Building and Safety.
- Is Carbon Canyon Road a problem for getting a spa to my house?
- Carbon Canyon Road, State Route 142, is the only road that connects Chino Hills directly with Orange County, and it is long, winding and prone to landslides. State Routes 60, 71 and 91 also serve the city, and no Interstate runs through it. None of that stops a delivery. It means we plan the route and the equipment ahead of the day rather than learning your street on the morning of.
