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.

Published cost and financing inputs

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.
