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.
