In fact, 2 miles of inland homes and terrain east of the Bolsa Chica wetlandsand the Pacific Ocean range in elevation betwen 0 to 5 feet above sea level. Homes in the upscale Huntington Harbour sector are at 5 to 10 feet above sea level. And at the inland border with Fountain Valley, the elevation is about 15 feet.
