How Suburbia was built
The tract is called Suburbia, which tells you how confident 1965 felt about the thing it was selling. Its streets are first names rather than places: Barbi, Kelly, Linda and Rochelle, with Denwood and Maple filling out the grid. County records put all one hundred and one homes on twenty and a half acres in 1965 and 1966.
Suburbia belongs to the wave of Los Alamitos subdivisions that followed Ross Cortese's Rossmoor, the walled community of three thousand four hundred homes he built immediately north between 1955 and 1961.

FAQs
Common questions about Suburbia
When was Suburbia built?
In 1965 and 1966. Tract 5867 was recorded with the county on 25 May 1965 and Tract 5793 on 16 September 1965, both surveyed by Terrance K. Barry, and the county carries a build year on all 101 parcels inside the boundary with none later than 1966.
How big is Suburbia?
The boundary the city draws encloses 20.6 acres. The county records 105 parcels and 101 addresses inside it, close to one home per lot, on parcels of about 0.15 acres, with 0.69 miles of street across six names.
What are the streets in Suburbia?
Barbi, Denwood, Kelly, Linda, Maple and Rochelle. Four of the six are first names, which is a different naming convention from the Navy names in Carrier Row and New Dutch Haven or the California county names in Greenbrook and Woodcrest.
Is Suburbia in a flood zone?
The county's federal 100 year flood layer maps 12.6 acres inside the Los Alamitos city limit, and none of that acreage falls inside Suburbia. Flood insurance requirements follow the federal map, so a lender is looking at the same layer.
