located on the surrounding hills, like the communities of Anaheim
Hills or Yorba Linda in the North Orange County and the area of
Coto de Caza in South Orange County.

west to the coast, along the coast to the Orange/San Diego County
line, east beyond Coto de Caza, and back northwest to Irvine
through the EI Toro, Irvine, Langula Hills, Mission Viejo, San
Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano.

South Orange County is the most recently
developed overall area and now offers a wide selection of housing
opportunities. Many new and beautiful “planned communities”
abound in South County, especially those featuring single family
homes and condominiums. Some developments offer shopping centers
within the neighborhood such as the one at Market on the Lake in
Mission Viejo, a community in Saddleback Valley.
|
|
| Central Orange County is a favorite with young and
old alike for it is the home of Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm,
Anaheim Stadium and other world-famous attractions. Baseball and
football fans will know that the “Big A” is home to both the
California Angels and the Los Angeles Rams. In addition to
professional sports and world-class amusement parks, Central
Orange County uniquely blends rural and suburban living and
offers a wide-range of housing opportunities. |
 |
|
| In the northern section, of Central Orange
County, older stately homes on tree-lined avenues preserve the
lifestyle and heritage of early California. A walk down
Tustin’s Main Street offers a glimpse into the Victorian era
and vintage homes and businesses have been carefully protected
and preserved to retain the city’s historic flavor. |
In the southern section, of Central Orange County
many new executive-style apartments and homes have been recently
completed and there is also a fine selection of condominiums and
townhomes to choose from. Santa Ana, the County Seat, is located
within this region. Central County includes, but is not limited
to, the communities of Anaheim Hills, Buena Park, Santa Ana,
Orange, and Tustin.
Coastal/West Orange County extends over one
of the most beautiful oceanfront areas in the world. Ranging from
Sunset Beach in the north, along the coast to the south,
Coastal/West Orange County offers a year round equitable climate,
a variety of housing opportunities.

For those who enjoy living close to the
water, Coastal/West Orange County offers a choice of homes with
an ocean view of homes on the bay. In communities such as
Huntington Harbor,located in the northern
section, you can find executive-style, waterfront homes with the
family yacht moored just a short walk from the front door.
Similar situations are the heart and soul of beautiful Newport
Harbor, one of the most photographed bays in the world. If the
sight and sound of crashing waves is more to your liking, many
oceanfront and ocean view homes are available, both for lease and
for sale, in Coastal/West and South Orange County.

|
| North Orange County includes the picturesque rolling hills
of the northeast region. Many of the communities in this area manage to retain a
small-town flavor and rural living can still be found here. North
County is especially popular with equestrians, golfers, hikers,
and other out-of-doors enthusiasts. Single family homes abound in
this area, but new townhomes and condominiums are also available.
This area includes, but is not limited to, the communities of
Brea, Fullerton, La Habra, Placentia, and Yorba Linda.

North Orange County is home to some
spectacular golf courses, ten parks, and miles of well-maintained
trails for both bicycles and horses. If country living among
gentle rolling hills sounds attractive, County may be just what
you are looking for. A balanced mix of
rural ambience combined with modern schools, businesses, and
shopping areas makes North County one of the most popular
regions, especially with the first time homebuyers and families
with young children. One of the most popular architectural styles
in the region is the single story California Ranch- and no
wonder, it fits the surrounding countryside perfectly. Townhomes
and condominiums are available in a wide price range and, as in
other regions, many lovely family and executive style homes are
available for sale.
