Tri-City Park sits in the northwest part of Placentia, near the borders with Brea and Fullerton. The surrounding neighborhoods include many tract-era homes, the kind that commonly have slab foundations and older clay or cast-iron laterals, though every house should be checked individually.
Living near a city line adds one practical step: make sure you know which city your address is in before you call about permits or the public sewer. A street can look continuous while the jurisdiction changes.
