Peninsula Park

Peninsula Park covers 18.4 acres measured against the city's published boundary and sits entirely inside the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan area. The address layer records 102 addresses inside the line and types 91 as residential, all classed single-family by the assessor with no unit designators. Three named streets serve them across 0.64 miles: Chandon Lane, Redford Lane and Brentwood Drive. Only Coral Cay, with the same count, has fewer names on this register.

The assessor's median building is 3,211 square feet with a tenth to ninetieth percentile band of 2,903 to 3,213, on a median lot of 5,823 square feet, and 42 of the 91 dwellings carry a pool. City zoning reads the whole boundary as specific plan designation and the general plan designates 77.0 percent of it residential low density. The boundary fills 72.7 percent of its own convex hull. 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 four stops within that distance.

SeaCliff Country Club opened nearby in 1966 with a course by the architect J. Press Maxwell, and it set the tone for everything that followed once the oil leases here were retired. The houses came late. All 91 homes in Peninsula Park were finished in 2000 and 2001 on about 18 acres, late in the city's building history rather than at the beginning of it.

The three streets are Chandon Lane, Redford Lane and Brentwood Drive, which is naming borrowed from wine country and west Los Angeles rather than from anything local. A hundred years earlier the same ground would have been in beans or celery, and fifty years earlier it would have had a derrick on it.
