Overview
About Horizons
Horizons covers 49.3 acres on the Camino Grande shelf in east Anaheim, on four streets over 1.2 miles: Garnet, Onyx and Sapphire, reached from Camino Grande. The gemstone naming carries through the neighboring communities laid out in the same three years. The city records 137 addresses on 134 parcels, 132 of them detached single family and two held as common ground, with a median lot of 3,010 square feet, among the most compact in this section.
The general plan gives 29.1 of the 49.3 acres the Open Space designation and 20.2 acres a residential one, so three fifths of the boundary is hillside held between the homes rather than built on. Zoning covers 46.5 acres as Multiple-Family Residential at a floor of 3,000 square feet of lot area per unit. Two parcels carry a pool. The whole boundary falls in ZIP 92807 and in flood zone X. Horizons sits in Orange Unified School District and feeds Canyon High.

How Horizons was built
There is a quarter of Anaheim Hills off Camino Grande where the streets are all gemstones, and Horizons holds three of them. Garnet, Onyx and Sapphire run inside this boundary; Amethyst, Quartz and Ruby are next door in Kings Meadow; Coral and Peridot are next door again in Gramercy Park. Somebody naming streets on this hillside worked straight down a jeweler's case, and the result is that a walk of a few minutes crosses eight stones.
Anaheim Hills itself began on 30 October 1970, when Santa Anita Consolidated took deed to 4,200 acres of the Nohl Ranch to build a planned community, and a Texaco Ventures joint venture took over the residential land in August 1971. The first neighborhood, Westridge, opened in July 1972, and the city bought a separate 300 acres for a golf course that Richard Bigler laid out and that opened the same year. Horizons is one of the attached home communities that filled in between the larger lot tracts, a hundred and thirty seven addresses over forty nine acres with two pools and a good deal of slope left unbuilt. More than half the boundary carries an open space designation rather than a residential one, which is the deliberate result of a plan that gave close to a thousand acres of these hills to public agencies and kept the sycamore, oak and eucalyptus standing through construction.
