Huntington Bay

Huntington Bay covers 16.1 acres measured against the city's published boundary and holds 253 residential addresses among the 256 the address layer records inside the line. Only one address carries a unit designator and the assessor classes all 253 dwellings as single-family residential. Seven named streets serve them across 0.77 miles, six of them English: Holburn, Ascot, Piccadilly, Margate, Ramsgate and Hull, with Disney Circle the exception.

The homes are among the smallest on the register. The assessor's median building is 1,100 square feet on a median lot of 770, with a tenth to ninetieth percentile band of 594 to 1,254 square feet, and 166 of the dated structures are two story against 86 that are single. Twenty-eight addresses carry a pool. City zoning splits the ground 69.6 percent residential medium high density and 30.4 percent residential medium density. The community sits outside the Coastal Zone appeal jurisdiction, no city park land falls inside it or within 250 meters, and the bus stop layer records six stops within that distance.

Every one of Huntington Bay's 253 homes carries a 1964 build year, on about 16 acres, which means the whole neighborhood was framed and sold inside a single season. Its streets are a small tour of England with one Californian intruder: Piccadilly, Margate, Ramsgate, Ascot, Holburn, Hull and, oddly, Disney Circle, which had opened its park twelve miles up the freeway nine years earlier.

The land underneath grew lima beans, asparagus, peppers, celery and sugar beets, and Holly Sugar ran a plant that processed it before being converted into an oil refinery. The Newland House, built in 1898 for the pioneers William and Mary Newland and their ten children at the center of a 500 acre agricultural ranch, is the oldest residence in the city and it is still standing as a museum.
