Unplanted lands have been divided into 2 to 50 acre tracts and cost $400 to $800 per acre. Also, several acres have been planted to Eureka Lemons, Valencia Oranges and Marsh Grapefruit. This land is being divided into 5, 10, 15, and 20 acre tracts and cost $750 to $1025 per acre. Some of the most successful citrus growers and nurserymen have invested in North Whittier Heights which shows the merit of the land.
