About AHIA

Alamitos Heights Improvement Association (AHIA) is a 501 (c) 4 Non Profit Organization that was started by volunteers in 1923 to beautify and improve our neighborhood. In those days oil wells dominated the landscape and by 1927 Alamitos Heights was open for oil drilling. Our neighborhood logo of an oil well turning into a Royal Palm symbolizes this focus on cleaning up the land and beautifying our community. 

Over the years, the focus of AHIA has expanded. Our current mission statement is, “Creating Community Together.” To achieve this mission AHIA hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt, Neighborhood Picnic, Toss-Shred-Recycle Event, and our Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Colorado Lagoon with Santa! We also host two Community Meetings at the Greek Orthodox Church every year so neighbors can hear about issues that impact our community. And we host dozens of Wine Down Friday gatherings during the year which provide an easy and casual way to stay connected to your neighbors. 

In addition to these traditional events, our committee for neighborhood beautification organizes events to help plant trees, maintain the Manila Median, and clean our alleys. If you appreciate these efforts, please consider joining us. Being part of AHIA is a great way to meet your neighbors and ensures your voice is heard regarding concerns or ideas for improvement.

What Your Membership Supports

AHIA benefits the residents of Alamitos Heights in many ways. The Association acts as a forum for two-way communication between our residents and our city government. AHIA meets with our 3rd District Councilperson, as well as local police, fire and safety personnel. Information on issues affecting our neighborhood is passed on to residents through our newsletter, website and community meetings. Feedback, comments, and requests from our neighborhood are fed back up to our city officials.

AHIA sponsors social events for the entire neighborhood. Our annual meeting doubles as a picnic in June. The picnic brings out many members and it is a great way to meet more of our neighbors.

AHIA sponsors the Colorado Lagoon Christmas Trees and a Tree Lighting ceremony that is fun for everyone. 

AHIA publishes our newsletter containing articles written by your neighbors and we maintain this website to promote communication between neighbors.  

AHIA supports tree planting and traffic signals, neighborhood safety with community watch and National Night Out, and sidewalk and street repair and we look for new ways to make Alamitos Heights an even better neighborhood to live in.
