Overview
About Pointe Quissett
Pointe Quissett covers 54.9 acres above Nohl Ranch Road, and its streets carry New England names: Andover, Cavendish, Fairlee, Greensboro, Londerry, Nantucket, Prairie, Tisbury and Weymouth, 1.4 miles in all. The city records 149 addresses on 137 parcels, every one detached single family, with a median lot of 10,614 square feet.

How Pointe Quissett was built
Pointe Quissett is a piece of New England set down on a California hillside. Quissett is a hamlet on the western shore of Falmouth, Massachusetts, looking out on Buzzards Bay, and it has a harbor and a historic district of its own. The streets keep the map going: Nantucket and Tisbury are islands off Cape Cod, Andover and Weymouth are Massachusetts towns, and Cavendish, Fairlee and Greensboro are Vermont. Londerry is Londonderry, which exists in both New Hampshire and Vermont. Prairie Lane is the one street that remembers which coast it is actually on.
Anaheim Hills itself began on 30 October 1970, when Santa Anita Consolidated took deed to 4,200 acres of the ranch to build a planned community, and a Texaco Ventures joint venture took over the residential land in August 1971. The first neighborhood, Westridge, opened in July 1972. The city bought a separate 300 acres for a tournament class golf course, which Richard Bigler laid out and which opened in 1972. Pointe Quissett went up mostly in the late 1970s, with the houses dated from 1977 and 1979 the median year. It is a pool neighborhood in a serious way, seventy six of them across a hundred and forty nine addresses, and the street plan bends with the contour because Anaheim Hills was the first residential development anywhere to shape its building pads to the natural form of the ridge rather than terracing it flat.
