West Port at Peninsula

West Port at Peninsula covers 32.1 acres measured against the city's published boundary and sits entirely inside the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan area. The address layer records 146 addresses inside the line and types 127 as residential, all classed single-family by the assessor with no unit designators. Nine named streets serve them across 0.90 miles, six of them circles, with Forester Drive and Royal Grove Drive carrying the most addresses.

The assessor's median building is 3,180 square feet with a tenth to ninetieth percentile band of 2,812 to 3,481, on a median lot of 6,269 square feet, and 53 of the 127 dwellings carry a pool. City zoning reads the whole boundary as specific plan designation while the general plan designates 69.9 percent of it residential low density. Just over a tenth of the boundary, 10.1 percent, falls inside the Coastal Zone appeal jurisdiction in appeal zone 3, and the rest sits outside. The county's Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park lies within 250 meters, and the city bus stop layer records no stop inside the boundary or near it.

West Port stands on the high ground between the coast and Huntington Central Park, land that was in oil production for most of the last century. Twenty five wells lie plugged inside the community boundary, every one of them drilled on Chevron's Huntington A lease. The field opened with the Huntington A-1 well on 24 May 1920, ran to 59 producing wells at about 16,500 barrels a day by October 1921, and had given up more than a billion barrels by 2000. It is still worked, and California Resources Production Corporation runs 179 of the 304 wells still active in the field.

The houses here are recent. All 127 of them were finished in 1997 and 1998 on about 32 acres. The plan runs to nine streets and six of them are circles, Braddock, Festival, Garland, Glenview, Summerwood and Sunnyside, hung off Forester Drive, Royal Grove Drive and Foxglen Lane. All of it sits on ground that was a working oil lease.
