Smoketree La Habra

Smoketree covers 4.9 acres on East La Habra Boulevard, the easternmost of the twenty eight communities in this guide. The city's register records 70 units and its address layer carries 68 addresses inside the boundary, 67 of them typed Condominium or Townhome. The whole community is filed on a single parcel and its 4.8 zoned acres fall under the La Habra Boulevard Specific Plan.

No public street runs inside the boundary and every address is written to East La Habra Boulevard. Descanso Park is 0.30 miles away, a one acre neighborhood park on Fonda Street shaded with trees, El Centro Lions Park 0.39 miles and the 0.55 acre Constitution Plaza Park, which marks the meeting of Harbor and Whittier Boulevards, 0.44 miles. The community feeds Arbolita Elementary, Washington Middle and Sonora High.

The corner that became La Habra was a trading point on the old road between the missions. W. J. Cole founded the town in 1896, and Zachary T. Coy opened the first store and ran the post office from the corner of it, at Central Avenue and Euclid Street. Central Avenue is now La Habra Boulevard.

Smoketree stands on the east end of that boulevard, 70 units across 4.9 acres laid out in September 1977, when the city was filling its central blocks with condominiums as the surrounding orchard land came out of production.
