Each row of homes has a greenbelt between
it and the next, so every home feels private. Some greenbelts are larger
than others depending on the lay of the land, but everyone
has some sort of separation.
|
| This is a typical street in the second
phase of Ocean Hills, built around 1990-1992. These homes are
larger, and they are detached. However, the largest ones are two story,
in order to fit on the lot. Often the second story
is just a loft, and the bedrooms and all living areas are on the
main floor. |

Here's a typical front yard. The
association maintains everything in front of your gate (under the
arch in this picture). The irrigation system is controlled by
the association, so the front yards on a street will always look
uniformly green. |
| These are shrubs covered by tarps
to protect them from getting painted. The association maintains
all home exteriors and all landscape walls. Entire streets are often
painted at the same time in order to provide a unifomly well-kept appearance.

There is no food service at Ocean Hills,
but there is this shopping center just down the road. Here you'll
find a supermarket, bagel and coffee shop, hairdresser, ice cream parlor,
and several fast food restaurants.
Further down the road, but still nearby,
are more formal restaurants, the hospital, and all the "big
box" stores, like Costco, Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Lowe's,
and Home Depot. In other words, just about everything
you could want is within a 10 minute drive of Ocean Hills.
