The neighbourhoods

Where La Habra actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Downtown / Civic Center District

Anchored by the 1923 Union Pacific train depot, rehabilitated into the Children's Museum at La Habra that opened in 1977 as the first of its kind west of the Mississippi.

Boulevard of the Bells (La Habra Boulevard corridor)

Replica 1906 mission bells mark historic sites along the old El Camino Real route through Central Avenue; the bell at La Habra Boulevard and Euclid Street was designated Orange County Historical Site No.

Westridge

A gated hillside community in eastern La Habra built out mostly between 1970 and 1999.

Country Hills

A hillside residential area of single-family homes and townhouses built around city parks and walking trails on the city's east side.

Coyote Hills

The hills straddling La Habra's southeastern edge were the site of Standard Oil's Coyote Hills oil field, developed starting in 1912, and later gave their name to the fault segment behind the 2014 M5.1 La Habra earthquake.

La Habra Marketplace corridor

Built on the 40-acre site of La Habra Fashion Square, a regional mall that opened in August 1968 and was demolished in stages between 1990 and 1995 before redevelopment into today's retail center.

A day around here

Ordinary life in La Habra, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

Coffee at AT230 Cars and Coffee, then whatever the day actually needs.

Afternoon

An hour at Portola Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at La Perla, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
