What it looks like now:

Used to be 2 big trees in the front yard, don't know why the new owners took them down.

Lived there from 0 - grade 5.

I know...really. I can't tell you how many times I would just walk into the wrong house....or toilet paper my own thinking it was my friend's! 😉

You can make fun of our cookie-cutter houses, but that is about it...

"In 2005 CNN ranked Yorba Linda 21st among the best places in the U.S. to live.[5] Similarly, in an article by CNN Money, Yorba Linda was one of the richest U.S. cities and the highest in Orange County as reported by the Census data, showing median household income of over $120K: "Among towns of between 65,000 and 250,000 in population, Yorba Linda, California, where six-figure incomes are the rule, had the highest median income at $121,075"[6]

I wonder if the scaling in Google maps is correct. There is a cluster of freaking huge warehouses near the marker, bigger than the neighborhood and park in the middle. I don't remember the park being so tiny, I used to play football (not hand-egg) there.

The new owners built the add-on on the left, paved the crap out of the driveway, built a fence on the side yard, converted the old garage into living space... it used to look like this:

Was a great place to live and grow up.

interesting, Money magazine consistently had my town ranked top 10 for several years in a row. #1 back in...98? something like that.

Pretty much the definition of middle class suburbia...this thread has made me nostalgic.

Looks like someone in the last 25 years has replaced our crappy chain link fence with a nice wooden one, and the pond up the street where I spent countless hours fishing is now dried up.
