Corymbia ficifolia

After going back and taking some more photo today, I'm reasonably sure that the trees across the street are Red Flowering Gum trees, aka Albany red flowering gum trees, or Orange Splendour. The scientific name is Corymbia ficifolia, formerly Eucalyptus ficifolia. Family = Myrtaceae.

The trees flower heavily only every second year; typically parts of a given tree will flower one year and other parts the next, but this varies greatly: in typical corymbia fashion, each individual tree seems to have its own particular habits.
