Brea is the ideal place to work shop or enjoy one of the fine entertainment venues offered. It receives over 100,000 people daily due to its four-major anchor stores: Nordstrom, Macy’s, Sears and JC Penney, with over 175 specialty stores and restaurants and Glen Ivy Day Spa. The city houses over 39,000 residents, so it is not so overcrowded with people and this makes it an ideal place to leave in.Brea is also very proud of its bustling downtown popularly known as “Birch Street”, with over 50 acres of shopping and entertainment.

This village-style pedestrian-oriented promenade features Taps Fish House & Brewery, Old Navy, Tower Books & Music, Market City Café, Pan e Vino Trattoria, the Improv Comedy Club and Edwards Stadium Cinema Complex, to name a few. City Hall Park, located on Brea Boulevard, includes a historic community plunge and hosts a popular summer Concerts in the Park series, as well as the annual July 4 Country Fair. The Brea Scout Center, housed in the renovated old City Hall at the park is now open.
