Santa Ana Overview

The second most-populated city in the center of Orange County, Santa Ana apartments are consistently in-demand thanks to their winning combination of scenery, ideal location and famous California weather. Home to over 300,000 proud residents and a growing economic base, this sunny hot spot has been ranked by Forbes as 'One of America's Top 5 Safest Cities'.

What is the history of Santa Ana?

1886 saw the incorporation of Santa Ana, and a decade later the Southern Pacific Railroad completed a branch line leading to Los Angeles. By 1935 a direct roadway further connected the cities, expanded even further in the 1950s as the Santa Ana Freeway. Unsurprisingly, Santa Ana steadily became a home away from home for many working in the LA job market, although today Santa Ana's own economic base is very strong in its own right, home to such industries as TTM Technologies and Ingram Micro.

How is the weather in Santa Ana?

The city is known for ideal weather, boasting warm and sunny summers that usually hover around the 80 degree mark, and mild, comfortable winters largely free of cold weather. Springs can see some rainfall, and even the autumn months typically experience temperatures in the low 70s.

How do I get around town?

Metrolink's Orange County Line as well as Amtrak both service the city, and public bus transfers are relatively easy to come by as well. Many residents of apartments in Santa Ana still trust in a personal auto for most travel, and the John Wayne Airport is the closest means of sky travel for residents.

What is the Santa Ana commute like?

A number of roadways criss-cross Santa Ana and its outlying region, including the Garden Grove Freeway and the largely-used Interstate 5, which connects to both Los Angeles as well as San Diego. Route 55 also provides connection to Costa Mesa. Those commuting to Los Angeles can expect the bumper-to-bumper traffic the city is notorious for, leading many commuters to rely upon the rail for much of their weekly needs.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Orange County Register' is the most widely-read newspaper in the market, with radio an eclectic mix of hip-hop, modern rock, and classical. National Public Radio and other talk outlets are also found with ease, and almost every major network is accessible to those residing in Santa Ana apartments thanks to nearby affiliates.

Why live in Santa Ana, CA?

From the amazing California weather to an ever-growing job market, Santa Ana rentals have much to offer both families on the go and working-class young professionals. With an impressive historical district, not to mention plenty in the way of nightlife and famed eateries, this boisterous city is a jewel of the west coast.

What Santa Ana landmarks should I see?

Santa Ana is flush with a variety of landmarks, including such famous hot spots as the Bowers Museum and the Old Orange County Courthouse. The historic district is loaded with homes and architecture dating back to the turn of the century, and the Chiarini Fountain, constructed of gorgeous marble, is truly a sight to behold. Don't forget the Santa Ana Zoo, which has roots dating back to 1960!

What is there to do around Santa Ana?

Spend an afternoon perusing local works at the Santa Ana Artist Village, or dive into knowledge at the Discovery Science Center, a surefire hit with any dinosaur fan on your list. The aptly-named Riverview Golf Course is an excellent and scenic spot for getting into the swing of things, and Dexter's Chomp House is known the world over for its amazing menu.

Any annual festivals or Santa Ana events to know?

Cinco de Mayo is a big event in the city, complete with a parade and plenty of fanfare, while the Patchwork Crafts Festival offers local goods every spring. The annual Chili Cookoff brings out some friendly competition, and local farmer's markets and street music jams can be found almost every month in this bustling city.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

With a Santa Ana apartment, the vacation world is your oyster. The beaches of California are just a short ride away, from the surfing waves of Huntington to the famous pier of San Fran, and everywhere in between. Head inland to experience camping at one of Cali's famous national parks, or try your luck with a road trip to Las Vegas, both within reach of most apartments in Santa Ana.

Where is the best place to move in Santa Ana?

Whether you are on the hunt for a two-bedroom commuter's rental close to the onramp of the Santa Ana Freeway, or simply desire a one-bedroom loft apartment offering pet-friendly amenities and plenty of onsite parking, odds are in your favor that the ideal apartment in Santa Ana is waiting for you. Start your search today, and start enjoying all that sunny California has to offer!
