Huntington Continental

Huntington Continental covers 26.0 acres measured against the city's published boundary and holds 445 residential addresses among the 462 the address layer records inside the line. Only one address carries a unit designator and the assessor classes all 445 dwellings as single-family residential. Eleven named streets serve them across 1.74 miles and the naming is English throughout: Keswick, Kingswood, Coventry, Cambridge, Claremont, Inverness, Cornwall, Argyle, Berkshire and Charing Cross, off Continental Drive.

The homes are the most compact on the register. The assessor's median building is 960 square feet on a median lot of 800, with a tenth to ninetieth percentile band of 864 to 1,254 square feet, and 400 of the dated structures are two story against 44 that are single. Thirty-one addresses carry a pool. City zoning and the general plan both read 77.6 percent of the ground as residential medium high density. The community sits outside the Coastal Zone appeal jurisdiction. Bushard Park lies within 250 meters, and the bus stop layer records ten stops within the same distance, among the highest counts on this register.

Huntington Continental is a 445 home low rise attached community west of Brookhurst Street and north of Adams Avenue, and the county record puts every one of those homes in 1963. It runs a clubhouse, two pools, two spas, a basketball court and two playgrounds, though the city streets through it remain public, so the amenity gates do not make the whole neighborhood gated.

The street names reach for England, Keswick, Kingswood, Coventry, Cambridge and Claremont, on land that had grown lima beans, celery and sugar beets. The Newland House, built in 1898 for William and Mary Newland at the center of a 500 acre ranch, still stands nearby as the surviving trace of what all this was before.
