Robin Hill I

Robin Hill I covers 34 acres above Imperial Highway, on Big Sky and Full Moon, half a mile of street in all. The city records 66 addresses on 58 parcels, every one detached single family, and the median lot is 14,625 square feet, a third of an acre. The general plan designates the whole boundary Residential Low, and zoning is Hillside Single-Family Residential at a 10,000 square foot minimum on 27.7 acres with a 7,200 square foot district on a further 2.6.

Twenty-four of the 58 parcels carry a pool on the assessor record. The city's footprint layer measures the houses at a median 2,039 square feet of ground floor and reads 31 of them as two-story against five single-story. The boundary lies wholly in ZIP 92807 and in flood zone X, the minimal hazard class. Robin Hill I sits in Orange Unified School District and feeds Canyon High.

Robin Hill has two streets and both of them look up. Big Sky Drive and Full Moon Drive are the whole address list for sixty six houses, which tells you what the developers thought people were buying on this shoulder of the Anaheim Hills: a view with nothing built in front of it.

Anaheim Hills itself began on 30 October 1970, when Santa Anita Consolidated took deed to 4,200 acres of the 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. Robin Hill came near the end of the first great push, built between 1984 and 1986 on lots of around fourteen thousand six hundred square feet, with twenty four of the sixty six homes carrying a pool. By then the city had annexed the Bauer, Oak Hills and Wallace ranches at the eastern edge, adding thirteen hundred acres, and nearly a thousand acres of the community had gone to public agencies so that the slopes above the houses would stay as they were.
