Despite the fact that this area has far more trees than other parts of the South Bay, the “tree section” is actually called this due to the names of the streets. Streets like Elm, Oak, Poinsettia, Palm and Pine are just a few.

The area enjoys more of a family neighborhood feel than the area directly to the west known as the Sand Section. Streets are generally a bit quieter and there is more room between houses and the area enjoys relatively flat and quiet streets.

The elementary school for most of the area is award winning Pacific Elementary and the area is close enough to the beach to enjoy warmer winters and cooler summers and is just a short bike ride to the coast.

There were 90 homes that sold in 2022 in the tree section at a median home price of $3,472,500.
