History edit
Originally a ranch, then a milk sanitarium, this neighborhood developed adjacent to the Pacific Electric Railway Balboa Line. Homes are predominantly Craftsman Bungalows, constructed between 1908 and 1924, ranging from large mansions to small-scale workers' housing.
An early motor court, the El Cortez, was built in 1937 at 767 E Sunrise Blvd., on the site of the sanitarium. It is now the El Cortez Motor Court Apartments.[2]
Today this district is a blend of small-scale bungalows, large-scale Craftsman houses, and mid-scale bungalows in the Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival styles.
