Downtown Brea (Birch Street)
The city acquired roughly 60 acres of its old, blighted city center and rebuilt around Birch Street, a pedestrian-first corridor with about 350,000 square feet of commercial space that won the California Redevelopment Association's 2001 Award of Excellence.
Olinda (Historic Townsite)
The original oil-boom village founded in the 1890s was folded into the new city of Brea at incorporation in February 1917; the site is now California Historical Landmark No.
Olinda Village
A rural hillside neighborhood revived near the original Olinda site starting in 1964 — just six streets and about 120 homes, many on horse properties, backing up to Carbon Canyon Regional Park.

The same eye, as an actual inspection
Reading a listing from the desk is not an inspection. When you are under contract, the house still has to be walked — roof to slab, by an inspector.
