Market Overview

Redlands is a historic citrus-era city in San Bernardino County, in the Inland Empire about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. STR performance figures are tracked as part of a broader Inland Empire submarket shared with Chino, Corona, Fontana, Hemet, Moreno Valley, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside, Temecula, and Upland, among others, so the numbers below describe the Redlands area STR market within that regional footprint. In June 2026, the area averaged 62.9% occupancy, up 3.2 points year over year, at a $227 average daily rate, down 1.9% year over year, generating $3,834 in average monthly revenue, up 2.5% year over year. Entire-home listings command a higher $300 ADR, rising to $498 for the luxury tier and $432 for professionally managed units. Occupancy has climbed gradually in recent years, from 55.8% in 2024 to 56.1% in 2025 and 57.5% year-to-date in 2026, while average daily rate softened slightly over the same period, from $204 in 2024 to $203 in 2026 year-to-date, suggesting operators are prioritizing occupancy over rate increases. Redlands itself draws visitors for its walkable historic downtown along State Street and Citrus Avenue, preserved Victorian and Gilded Age architecture, and free cultural programming, more of a day-trip and weekend destination than an overnight tourism hub; the city’s population is 74,287. No official annual visitation count for Redlands was located, though the city markets itself as a Southern California day-trip destination with dependable year-round sunshine, drawing heritage and architecture tourists, University of Redlands visitors, and Inland Empire locals. Bedroom mix, listing-type split, and top property manager data are tracked at a shared Inland Empire regional level rather than uniquely for Redlands, so this profile omits those figures rather than presenting a rollup total as the city’s own supply.

Short-Term Rental Regulations

Short-term rentals of stays under 30 days are legal in Redlands and regulated, but less restrictively than some Inland Empire neighbors. Operators must obtain a city Short-Term Rental Permit before renting, renewed annually through the city’s online permitting portal, which requires an application fee, a self-certification of the unit’s interior, proof of liability insurance, and an exterior inspection by a Code Enforcement Officer. Hosts must also register for a Transient Occupancy Tax certificate, collect the 7% TOT from guests, and remit it with quarterly statements. Operating standards include occupancy limits scaled to the number of bedrooms, parking requirements, and a mandatory 24/7 local contact person to respond to complaints. Code Enforcement handles violations, with fines and penalties for operating without a permit or breaching operating standards; enforcement is rated moderate. No annual night cap, owner-occupancy requirement, or primary-residence requirement was found in available sources for Redlands, and the exact permit fee was not published on reviewed city pages. No specific recent ordinance changes were confirmed from primary sources. Overall, Redlands is comparatively STR-friendly relative to cities that ban rentals outright or require primary-residence occupancy, but investors should confirm the current permit fee, zoning eligibility, and any unpublished owner-occupancy provisions directly with the City of Redlands (redlands.gov) before purchasing, since California STR rules change frequently.

Market Comparison

Redlands’ 62.9% occupancy runs meaningfully above the roughly 55% national STR occupancy median, while its $227 average daily rate sits close to the roughly $220 national median ADR, only about 3% higher. Within the shared Inland Empire submarket, Redlands offers a lower entry cost than Rancho Cucamonga (typical home value $640,636 versus $789,064) at the same revenue benchmark, translating to a meaningfully stronger gross yield for Redlands buyers, roughly 7.2% versus 5.8%. Redlands’ 7% Transient Occupancy Tax is also lower than Rancho Cucamonga’s 12%, and unlike Rancho Cucamonga, no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement was confirmed for Redlands, a real regulatory advantage for absentee investors within the same cluster. Top property manager data for this market is tracked at the shared Inland Empire regional level rather than uniquely for Redlands, so this profile omits specific operator rankings rather than presenting a regional total as the city’s own competitive landscape.
