The 293-acre (1.19 km2) Hughes Aircraft Company’s
Ground Systems Group campus in western Fullerton was
redeveloped into a major new residential and commer-
cial district, called Amerige Heights, in 2001–2004. This de-
velopment was accompanied by extreme shifts in neigh-
borhood property values, first dropping precipitously in
the late 1980s to early 1990s as the former Hughes em-

of a general increase in real estate values throughout
