About the area
The Orange County area is one of the most sought-after communities on the west coast. Located along the Pacific Ocean, the weather enables year-round outdoor recreation, and there’s easy access to great cuisine, the arts, professional sports, and culturally diverse events. It’s close to big cities to its north and south, but without the traffic and other issues that big cities present. The area has a great variety of housing options: near the ocean, in open space amongst foothills, and in urban settings.
