Around 15 miles east of Riverside at the junction of Interstate 10 and Route 60, Beaumont is among the fastest-growing cities in the Inland Empire. “Development there is insane, I’ve never seen so much housing before,” says Michele Sparks, an experienced Associate Broker with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty. “The growth is driven by the great affordability in the area, but 10 years ago, it felt like nothing was here. Now, it’s almost like a big city.” Much of Beaumont consists of new suburbs and master-planned communities north of the interstate; south of the interstate, much of the land remains undeveloped or taken up by industrial facilities and an Amazon warehouse, the city’s largest employer.
As the town has grown, city officials have sought to transform Beaumont from a Riverside-area bedroom community to a destination in its own right. “Yes, the affordability here is great, but when I first moved to Beaumont some 20 years ago, I was most impressed by its beauty,” says David Fenn, the Mayor of Beaumont. “You’ve got the San Gorgonio Pass to the west, Mount San Jacinto the south, and the cherry and apple groves of Cherry Valley to the north, and that’s not mentioning the cleaner air and cooler temperatures we have because of our higher elevation. And we’ve already grown from 13,000 people to over 58,000 in 20 years, so residential development is starting to slow down while commercial development is beginning to ramp up.”

Affordable but rising housing prices in the Inland Empire
Beaumont’s affordability remains one of its biggest draws, but the city’s growing population has increased demand and prompted a rise in prices. As of late 2024, Beaumont's median home sale price was about $538,000, 8% higher than in late 2023 but still lower than Riverside's median price of about $646,000. Most homes in Beaumont are set in suburbs and 55-plus communities to the north of Interstate 10. While there are some modest homes that date to 1930s and ‘40s, most properties are ranch-style homes and cottages built between the late 1980s and 2020s, with prices ranging from $300,000 to $700,000. The city's southern half is dominated by the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains and remains largely undeveloped.

High-rated schools with a low cost of living
Local kids are served by the Beaumont Unified School District, which scores an overall grade of B on Niche. “We consistently score higher than what’s expected of us,” says Fenn. “When it comes to the balance between great schools and cost of living, we really do great in comparison to places like Orange County, where the schools are technically rated higher, but the amount of money and education needed to live there offsets that value.” Beaumont High here earns a B-plus on Niche, and in 2024, the football team won the Citrus Belt League title.

Community parks, scenic golf courses and nearby mountain ranges
Locals frequent Beaumont’s 17 public parks for youth sports, annual events and family picnics. Stretching 11 acres across the center of the city, Stewart Park is among Beaumont’s most popular greenspaces for its skate park and flat lawn space. “We like to call it our Central Park,” Fenn says. “The Cherry and 4th of July Festivals are held there. We’re putting $15 million into sprucing it up with a new outdoor amphitheater that’ll be great for the music acts during the events.” Golfing is also a favorite pastime in Beaumont; options here include the 36-hole Morongo Golf Course at Tukwet Canyon and the 18-hole Oak Valley Golf Course. “There’s also so, so much hiking and camping in Beaumont because of all the mountains,” says Sparks. With a peak elevation of nearly 11,000 feet, Mount San Jacinto offers plenty of hiking and mountain biking trails.

Shopping on I-10 and Downtown Beaumont
Along the Interstate 10 corridor, shopping plazas like the 2nd Street Marketplace include big-box stores, chain retailers and locally owned Mexican eateries and cafes. According to Fenn, many residents head 16 miles north to Downtown Redlands for a broader range of shopping and dining, including antique stores and upscale restaurants. "Downtown Redlands is a bit of a destination," Fenn says, "and that’s what we want Downtown Beaumont to become.”
Centered around the intersection of Beaumont Avenue and 6th Street, Downtown Beaumont is a quiet area with a handful of stand-alone businesses and Beaumont City Hall. "We have a $50,000 incentive for anyone who wants to open a fine dining restaurant in downtown,” Fenn says. “We’re also working on building new sidewalks and streetlamps to improve walkability, and we throw events like the Holiday Light Parade that attract people to the area."
Beaumont offers a variety of local restaurants for its residents to enjoy.

The century-old Beaumont Cherry Festival
Beaumont is best known for its recent, rapid growth, but its traditions run deep. For over a century, the Beaumont Cherry Festival has been the city’s biggest event and pays tribute to the area’s agricultural history. “Beaumont and Cherry Valley were once an ideal place for cherry farming and came to be filled with groves and groves of cherry trees,” Fenn explains. “Global warming has made it easier to grow apples rather than cherries in the valley, but it’s still this great 100-year celebration we love, with a carnival that lasts four to five days.” Every June, the Cherry Festival kicks off with a parade through Beaumont, followed by carnivals in Stewart Park, artisan and farmers markets, and live performances by regional musicians.
"All roads lead to Beaumont"
“We have a saying that all roads lead to Beaumont,” Fenn says. Interstate 10 runs through the center of the city, connecting to Highway 60 and Beaumont Avenue along the way; Interstate 10 leads 28 miles east to Palm Springs, and Highway 60 runs 15 miles west to Riverside. Residents are served by the Beaumont Transit System, whose two buses make stops throughout the city. Palm Springs International Airport, 31 miles west, is the closest airport. San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital sits just off Interstate 10, and additional medical services can be found 16 miles west at the Riverside University Health System Medical Center.
Low crime rates, high wildfire risks
According to the FBI's most recent data from December 2023, Beaumont’s average annual rate of reported property crime was 11 incidents per 1,000 people, lower than both California’s rate of 23 and the national rate of 18. The city's average annual rate of reported violent crime was 3 incidents per 1,000 people, lower than the California rate of 5 and the national rate of about 4. The Beaumont Police Department regularly holds events to foster a relationship with the community, and neighborhood watches provide an extra layer of security.
Beaumont’s arid climate, warm weather and Santa Ana Winds make it susceptible to wildfires. In October 2024, the Jack Fire burnt around 260 acres of woodlands along Highway 60, but was contained within two days by CAL FIRE's Riverside Unit. According to CAL FIRE, most of Beaumont’s undeveloped southern half is at a high risk of wildfires, while the more developed northern half is at a lower risk.
