A Timeless Connection to California’s Golden Era
Orange is a city that prides itself on preservation and personality. Unlike the modern, uniform developments found elsewhere in the county, Orange offers a “lived-in” elegance. The heart of the city is the Old Towne Orange Plaza, a historic traffic circle surrounded by architecture that spans the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Lifestyle
Living in Orange feels like a retreat from the frantic pace of modern life. Residents enjoy the Orange Home Grown Farmers & Artisans Market on Saturday mornings and spend afternoons browsing the highest concentration of antique dealers in the state. The presence of Chapman University injects a youthful, intellectual energy into the community, supporting local theaters and upscale bistros.
The Real Estate Landscape
For the discerning buyer, Orange offers architectural treasures. From the vibrant Victorian and Craftsman homes of the historic district to the world-renowned Eichler tracts (Fairhaven, Fairhills, and Fairmeadow), the city is a haven for those who value character over cookie-cutter design.
