Custom Closets & Organizers in Santa Ana, CA

Santa Ana grew from Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, granted in 1810 to José Antonio Yorba and his nephew Pablo Peralta. In 1869 William H. Spurgeon bought 74 acres and laid out 24 blocks between First and Seventh Streets; the town incorporated in 1886 and became the county seat when Orange County was formed in 1889, with its Romanesque courthouse opening in 1901. Interurban rail service from Los Angeles arrived in 1905. Three National Register districts, Downtown, French Park and Floral Park, now hold much of the city's older housing, while postwar neighbourhoods fill most of the rest. In a city with homes this old and households this large, closets carry more than their share.

Santa Ana homes and what they mean for storage

• French Park: about 45 acres of homes built between the 1880s and the late 1940s, from Queen Anne and Eastlake Victorians to Craftsman and Colonial Revival houses. Bedrooms in the oldest of these were planned around furniture rather than closets, so building a proper closet system into an existing alcove or reach-in supplies what those floor plans left out.
• Floral Park and Wilshire Square: neighbourhoods begun in the early 1920s, each with more than 600 homes, mostly one-story Craftsman, Spanish Revival and Tudor cottages built between the 1920s and the 1940s. Their reach-ins are short and shallow, so shelving trimmed to their real depth and a slim drawer column make each inch count.
• Postwar neighbourhoods: the 1950s, 60s and 70s account for about two-thirds of Santa Ana's housing, largely single-family houses with a reach-in in every bedroom. Double rods and an internal drawer unit free up floor space a dresser would otherwise take.

With nearly four people in the typical Santa Ana household, well above the statewide figure, floor space is precious and storage has to climb. Shelves carried up to the ceiling, a second rod above the first and baskets on the highest shelf put the full height of every closet to work.
