Have a thought or idea about what is happening in Belmont Heights?
Most people have noticed the flux of newly built houses on top of torn down cute little original bungalows Belmont Heights. Whether you like it or not, it is happening and a new crop of homes are replacing older ones that made Belmont Heights so unique.
The Belmont Heights Community Association will meet tonight at 7 p.m. to discuss the impact of what is now termed: “Mansionazation” in the area.
The association is not saying it is for or against but is conducting this meeting after several residents raised concern that these homes often time clash with the typical cache of our area. For instance, when you have a cute street filled with adorable vintage 1920s bungalows and Spanish Revival, one house is torn down to be rebuilt by a huge, filling every square foot of the lot house that borrow from Spanish Revival, Italian Renaissance, Mediterranean and more modern styles in the likes of Orange County, does it deface the original charm of the area? How are the other homes next door affected?
These are all valuable questions and I look forward to hear residents input.
See you at 7 p.m. at the Fremont Elementary School Auditorium at the corner of Fourth and Termino. If you have any questions, please contact: Maureen Neely at 562-438-4687
