Alamitos Heights, Belmont Park and Belmont Heights.

I like to make graphs, they tell a good visual story. While I was on Spring Break with the family, I wanted to do a graph of the surrounding neighborhoods to see how they all relate to each other. I decided to go back 5 years to get a good visual picture. (click on graph for larger image)

Belmont Park Heights AH Shore

As you can see, Belmont Park seems to be trending a little higher then Belmont Heights and Alamitos Heights. What this also shows it that values are still on the rise. We still have a shortage of listings. This is especially true in Alamitos Heights, we have more buyers then sellers.

New Trees, New Sidewalks and a New Council Member!

There is a lot that has happened in Alamitos Heights in the past few weeks.

First of all, Alamitos Heights Resident, Suzie Price was elected as our new 3rd District Council Member. Congratulations, and may the repaving of our streets continue!

Next, you may notice a few new Magnolia Trees were planted this past Sunday. We have recently had numerous old and dying Trees removed by the city, so I it is great that some new ones have been planted. I think the Magnolia trees add a distinct look to our neighborhood.

Also, there was an AHIA neighborhood meeting with Council Member Gary DeLong. There were some “spirited” conversations about Dunkin Donuts and what impact it could have on our neighborhood.
