Raintree

Raintree holds 566 addresses on 34.8 acres, 563 of them carrying a unit designator, spread across North Tamarack Avenue with 367 and West Central Avenue with 199. The parcel layer records only six parcels beneath all of it. The general plan carries 29.2 acres as High Density Residential and another 5.5 as parks, recreation and open space, and the zoning splits 26.7 acres of planned community from 8.1 of R-3.

Tamarack Park sits inside the boundary at 520 North Tamarack Avenue, 5.6 lighted acres, and the general plan carries 5.5 acres of the community as parks, recreation and open space. Brea of Olde, a 1988 welded steel work by Jeff Morse, stands here, and the tree inventory records 70 street trees. None of the 34.7 classified acres falls in an elevated fire class. Raintree is in Brea Olinda Unified with Mariposa Elementary 0.4 miles away holding 504 students and Brea Junior High 0.31 miles with 921.

This is 566 homes on thirty-five acres, almost every one of them addressed by unit number, with the city's record putting construction around 1979. That density is unusual for Brea and it makes Raintree one of the largest single residential communities in the city by household count. Tamarack Park, at 520 North Tamarack Avenue, runs to 5.6 acres beside it.

A sculpture called Brea of Olde by Jeff Morse stands inside the boundary, one of more than 140 works in a collection the city began building in 1975 by requiring the developer of each project to commission a permanent outdoor piece. The city's tree inventory counts seventy trees here, most of them American sweetgum. All thirty-five acres lie inside the liquefaction zone the city maps across the valley floor, which is a soils question worth putting to an inspector.
