Allied Gardens Property Management, a Family-Built Grid

Allied Gardens was platted in one push, starting in 1955, when Kelton and Bollenbacher's Allied Contractors company acquired 1,000 acres of the Waring estate and developed it as a single tract. That single-developer origin is why the neighborhood reads as more uniformly gridded than Del Cerro's hillside streets or San Carlos's later, hillier build-out, and it means Allied Gardens rental stock comps more consistently against itself than either neighbor.

A small commercial strip along Waring Road, between Orcutt and Zion, gives the neighborhood walkable service businesses and restaurants without the density of a full commercial corridor, while the Allied Gardens Recreation Center and pool on Greenbrier Avenue sit directly next to Lewis Middle School. That clustering of park, pool, and school gives the neighborhood a genuinely family-oriented center of gravity that Gibraltar leans on when marketing to family tenants specifically.

Schools run through the neighborhood in a clear pipeline: Foster and Marvin elementary schools feed Lewis Middle School, with students then moving on to Patrick Henry High School, positioned between San Carlos and Del Cerro. Gibraltar accounts for that full school pipeline when pricing and marketing an Allied Gardens rental to the family renters who make up most of its demand.
