1331 Leeward Avenue is a flat, open lot in Salton City, 75 feet along the street and 127 feet deep, a little under a quarter acre. The ground is bare sand with a scattering of low, dry scrub and nothing that would need clearing. Leeward is a paved street, the surface worn but intact, dotted here and there with old palm trees, and the blocks around it are a mix of houses and empty lots. Power lines run along the street with the nearest service two lots away; water and sewer are at the street line.
This is the Vista del Mar part of town. From the lot it is a two-minute, 0.7-mile drive out Beach Club Drive toward the Salton Sea shore. Highway 86 passes through Salton City, which puts the lot about 130 miles from San Diego and 142 from Los Angeles.
