Among the thousand Paradise Palms homes were dwellings of the Americana Series. Above, we see the Westcliff Plan C model. This sprawling, hip-roofed ranch came complete with an "estate size" formal living room, family room, double-sided fireplace, four bedrooms and two and-a-half baths. A "Gold Medallion" (all-electric) home, it sold for under $40,000. 


In 1968, the shiny new BOULEVARD mall extended for 750,000 leasable square feet, housed forty-eight tenants, and provided free parking for 6,000 autos. The Maryland Square convenience center -situated south of The Broadway- was anchored by a Boulevard Market grocery. In the mall's periphery were a Sears Auto Center & Service Station, Broadway Tire and Penneys Auto Center.
