About the Neighborhood

A little about Historic Fullerton The 260-plus lots that entail several blocks of Jacaranda Place, Malvern Avenue and Brookdale Place represent the most extensive, intact collection of 1920s housing in Fullerton. This district’s property owners requested and obtained a residential preservation zone (either the R-1P, R-2P, or R-3P classification) in 1997. With this type of zoning, adopted design guidelines ensure that new construction and improvements will be in keeping with the traditional architecture and streetscape design.

The earliest residences, built just after WWI, are situated in the 100 and 200 blocks of West Jacaranda Place and Malvern Avenue; the majority of the housing was constructed in the mid-1920s. In recent years, a second detached dwelling has been added to some of the lots on blocks that have alleys.

After 80 years, the pattern of building additions and front yard landscaping retain a traditional appearance. The legacy of old street lamps, sidewalk paving, and mature Magnolia and Jacaranda trees from the 1920s unifies the streetscape of this sizable area and strongly contributes to this district’s present day ambience.
