Crestmont

Crestmont covers 32.6 acres of hillside in western Brea and holds 290 addresses, every one of them carrying a unit designator, on two parcels in the city's parcel layer. The internal lanes are named for woods, thirteen of them: Cherrywood, Crestwood, Cottonwood, Dogwood, Elmwood, Fernwood, Pinewood, Ashwood, Basswood, Maplewood, Oakwood, Pepperwood and Rosewood, running across 2.03 miles of private road. The general plan carries 32.4 acres as Medium Density Residential and the zoning is R-2 throughout.

The City of Brea's housing record names Crestmont as one of the city's five mobile home parks, alongside Bandera Estates, Hollydale, Lake Park Brea and Rancho Brea, and the county parcel record classifies all 285 of the homes inside the boundary as manufactured. The site sits on the fire boundary rather than inside or outside it: 24.4 acres in the Very High severity class, 3.9 in Moderate and 4.1 outside the wildland classification, with 0.9 acres in the landslide layer. Crestmont is in Brea Olinda Unified, with Mariposa Elementary 0.47 miles away holding 504 students, Brea Junior High 0.93 miles with 921, and Brea Olinda High 1.69 miles with 1,676.

Crestmont is a condominium community of 290 homes on thirty-three acres, addressed off a single entry road but laid out along sixteen lanes inside. About twenty-four of its acres fall in the state's Very High fire hazard class, which is what building against the Brea hills means, and small parts of it are touched by the city's landslide and liquefaction layers.

The lanes are a lumber yard. Ashwood, Basswood, Cherrywood, Cottonwood, Dogwood, Elmwood, Fernwood, Maplewood, Oakwood, Pepperwood, Pinewood, Rosewood, Sandlewood and Teakwood each take a real wood and add the same ending, so a resident giving directions has to say the first syllable clearly. Rosewood and teak are cabinet timbers rather than Californian trees, which tells you the list was written for the sound of it rather than for anything growing on the hill.
