Hot Tubs & Swim Spas for Placentia Shoppers

Why Placentia Shoppers Visit Our Brea Showroom

North Orange County, south-east of our Brea showroom and east of Fullerton, with SR-57 through the south-west of the city and SR-91 just south.

We don't have a branch in Placentia. The showroom that serves you is Brea, at 270 N. Brea Blvd, which is where you can see these running with water in them. Call that store direct on (657) 295-1300.

Placentia Neighborhoods We Deliver To

Old Town Placentia is the original central business district, founded in 1910 near the train depot and the citrus packing houses. The city's revitalization plan covers about 32 acres and 147 parcels around the Bradford and Santa Fe crossroads, and it describes the residential blocks immediately north and west, bounded by Chapman Avenue on the north and Murray Street on the west, as primarily single family Craftsman or California Bungalow. Those are the city's words, and the hardest back yards in town. La Jolla, in the south-west, is older single-family housing on smaller lots, cut in two by SR-57. McFadden Park is there, and three family markets still serve the blocks around it, Urdiano's, Gonzales Market and Pee Wee's. Oil was found here in 1919, and the town of Richfield, later renamed Atwood, was built to house the oil workers. It is small-lot housing on a grid with industrial frontage nearby, anchored by the Gomez Community Center at 1701 Atwood Avenue. Most of the rest of the city is 1960s and 1970s tract, flat and regular.

The Homes and Backyards in Placentia

SCAG's pre-certified housing data for the city counts 17,184 units, 10,179 of them single-family detached, and an all-single-family share of 70.4 percent against 61.7 percent across the SCAG region. Placentia is a detached-house city. The year-built split is the number that matters to us. 28.6 percent of the stock went up between 1970 and 1979 and 25.0 percent between 1960 and 1969, while only 1.5 percent dates from 2010 or later. Almost nothing new gets built here, so nearly every spa we sell goes into a back yard that already exists. The R-1 zone requires 7,000 square feet on an interior lot and 7,500 on a corner, caps lot coverage at 50 percent, and sets a 1,300 square foot minimum floor area under a 30-foot height limit. Those are not small houses. The only architectural style the city itself documents is Craftsman and California Bungalow, on the blocks north and west of Old Town. We will not guess at the rest.

Why Placentia Homeowners Choose a Hot Tub or Swim Spa

Placentia is a bedroom community, and the city's own Old Town plan uses that phrase. Eighty-four percent of the population drives, and residents commute out to other cities for work, Anaheim first and Los Angeles second. The city holds 19,581 jobs out of 70,830. That math describes the shopper we see from here. Someone who gets home late, in traffic, to a flat tract back yard built in the 1960s or 1970s. More than half the housing stock, 53.6 percent, went up across those two decades. A spa here is not a resort feature. It is what is waiting at the end of the drive home.

Getting a Spa Into a Placentia Backyard

Placentia is one of the easier cities we deliver into. It is flat, 272 feet of elevation on the valley floor, with none of the hillside pads that complicate Brea and Yorba Linda. The R-1 standard puts 6 feet on one side yard and 10 feet on the other, and a spa tipped on its side needs roughly 3 to 4 feet of clear path. The setback is almost never the problem. The gate leaf, the gas meter, the condenser pad, the hose bib and the downspout are. Measure the narrowest point, not the setback. Old Town and the blocks north and west of it are the exception, on small parcels that pre-date the current setbacks, where houses sit close to the line and a crane comes up most often. In La Jolla a freeway sound wall can remove a side approach entirely. In the two-story tracts, eaves and second-floor bump-outs catch a tipped spa, not the ground.

Using It Year-Round in Placentia

The nearest long-record weather station is Fullerton Municipal Airport, the adjacent city west, so these are Fullerton's normals rather than Placentia's own. January averages a high of 68.8F and a low of 46.4F. July runs 84.4F and August 86.7F. Annual rainfall is 11.86 inches. That is a twelve-month soaking climate with no freeze season to design around. The constraint runs the other way, and plenty of owners here run a lower set temperature in summer or soak after dark.
