Hot Tubs & Swim Spas for Whittier Shoppers

Why Whittier Shoppers Visit Our Brea Showroom

Whittier is a Los Angeles County city against the Puente Hills, bordered by La Habra to the southeast, with State Route 72 along Whittier Boulevard.

We don't have a branch in Whittier. 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.

Whittier Neighborhoods We Deliver To

Whittier reads in layers. Uptown Whittier, the traditional business core centred on Philadelphia Street and Greenleaf Avenue, holds the city's oldest residential fabric: small pre-war lots, houses sited close to the street, alleys in places. Hadley-Greenleaf, just north of it and named for Hadley Street and Greenleaf Avenue, is a city-designated historic district of early twentieth century Craftsman and stucco Spanish Colonial Revival houses on flat lots, detached garages set to the rear. College Hills, the hillside neighbourhood around Whittier College, is the steep one: split-level and terraced sites, retaining walls, short steep driveways. Then there is East Whittier, the broad eastern half, a separate agricultural district growing citrus, walnuts and lemons until the postwar tracts arrived. Murphy Ranch sits generally north of Whittier Boulevard and Leffingwell Ranch generally south of it, both named for the original ranches and both developed in the 1950s and 1960s. Friendly Hills is the upscale hillside sub-area of East Whittier, same decades, larger lots and view sites on higher ground.

The Homes and Backyards in Whittier

Three layers of housing, three different jobs. In and around Uptown you get one and one-and-a-half storey pre-war houses, Craftsman bungalows and stucco Spanish Colonial Revival, on small flat platted lots. The postwar layer is the biggest and the one that matters most to us. East Whittier was farm ground until it was subdivided in the 1950s and 1960s, and what replaced the groves reads as traditional California ranch: single storey, low hip or gable roofs, attached garage, stucco with some board-and-batten or brick veneer, level rear yards. Above that sits the hillside custom layer in College Hills and Friendly Hills, larger houses on engineered pads behind retaining walls. The numbers come from the R-1 zone at Municipal Code section 18.16.030: a seven-thousand-square-foot minimum for lots created after the ordinance took effect, a twenty-foot front yard, five-foot interior side yards, a five-foot rear yard, and buildings capped at forty percent of the lot. A hillside parcel may sit in the H-R or R-E zone instead, under different numbers.

Why Whittier Homeowners Choose a Hot Tub or Swim Spa

The Hellman Park trailhead sits on Greenleaf Avenue at the edge of the built city, and the Puente Hills Preserve runs the Turnbull Canyon and Sycamore Canyon trail areas straight up against the northern and eastern neighbourhoods. A city where people climb the ridge above their own street before work has a real reason to want hot water waiting at home. It is also a long-tenure city, anchored in employment by PIH Health. The 2020 census counted 87,306 residents in 28,959 households, 49.7 percent of them married couples, median age 38.4. People buy here and stay, which is the profile that buys a spa rather than renting a house with one.

Getting a Spa Into a Whittier Backyard

That five-foot interior side yard is the number that decides a Whittier delivery, and it is measured from the property line, not from your gate. Subtract eaves, a hose bib, the gas meter, a condenser pad and a fence post and a code-minimum run routinely clears under four feet. A seven to nine foot shell will not pass that on a dolly without fence panels or gate framing coming off. In the flat East Whittier tracts, Murphy Ranch and Leffingwell Ranch above all, the straight side run off the driveway usually works once it measures out. In Uptown and Hadley-Greenleaf the rear alley is often the better route, because the real pinch is the gap to the neighbour's wall. For a College Hills or Friendly Hills address we assume a crane is on the table until a site visit says otherwise, and we say so before any deposit. Photograph the gate and the whole run behind it.

Using It Year-Round in Whittier

Whittier sits about fifteen miles inland at 367 feet, less moderated by the ocean than the coast is. Summer highs run 84 to 97 with lows of 62 to 70. Winter highs run 57 to 72 with lows of 41 to 50, so hard freezes are not a feature of the published record. No draining down, no winterising. The limiter here is the summer afternoon. Plan for evening and early morning soaks, shade, and a cover that holds up against solar gain.
