North Hills Brea  is a well kept secret in many ways.  Home are set at the base of the hills which separate Orange County from Los Angeles County over the hills to the North.  Located primarily between the streets of Puente to the West and Berry Street to the East it's a quiet residential community of one and two-story homes.

Several different builders developed in this area beginning in the late 60's  through the early/mid-eighties depending on the builder. Some homes, yet not all (also depending on the builder) are in a  home owner's association with amenities like pools, clubhouse, tennis courts, playground/tot lot as examples.  

Floor plans range from a the smaller single story plan with  3 bedrooms 2 baths at about 1,800 square feet to the larger models up to 5 bedrooms 3 ½ baths and approximately 3,200 square feet.  Many have 3-car garages while the smaller ones usually have a 2-car garage. Lot sizes can range anywhere from about 6,000 square feet and a few up to 14,000 depending on locations.  Most of the large lots have cul-de-sac locations.

North Hills has been a great place for young families, retirees and single folks alike. I've lived here many years myself as an original owner and I can personally say my neighbors fit into all three catagories mentioned.

 As a family we've celebrated numerous events at this clubhouse including birthdays, anniversaries amd even two weddings. It's also our local polling place to vote at election time.

Many of us moved to Brea knowing the city offered top notch public schools.  Schools for the North Hills area include the award winning  Mariposa Elementary,  Brea Jr. High and Brea-Olinda High School. My own kids have experience them all over the years.
