Tustin Overview

Recently chosen by Forbes as one of the 'top 25 places to live well', Tustin is located in the welcoming confines of Orange County, California. Considered part of the greater Los Angeles metro region, this on-the-move west coast hot spot is always in-demand, and makes an excellent option for anyone on the hunt for a new place to call home in the great state of California.

What is the history of Tustin?

Settled in the late 1800s and officially incorporated in 1927, Tustin was primarily a farmland region known for orchards. A Navy airship base settled into the area during World War II, and its structure remains as a national historic monument, among the largest wooden structures ever built. Post-war suburbs helped grow the local population, and slowly but surely the agricultural farmland gave way to retail shopping and Tustin apartments for rent. Today, Tustin rentals act as home largely to fresh tech startup entrepreneurs and those eager for a relatively short commute to greater LA.

How is the weather in Tustin?

When it comes to classic Cali weather, Tustin is about as good as it gets. Summer temps often hover around a delightfully warm 80 degrees, and even in January the sun can heat things up to a comfortable 70. Snow is largely a myth in this west coast destination, and precipitation tends to be limited to just enough to keep the flowers in full bloom.

How do I get around town?

A majority of locals rely on a private car or truck for getting around, although taxis and ride share options such as Lyft are a constant presence. Some bus service is offered, and Greyhound offers larger transfers throughout much of the state. LAX is one of the biggest airports in the region, offering numerous domestic and international flights every day.

What is the Tustin commute like?

California traffic is no joke, although an apartment in Tustin certainly softens the blow. Convenient to much of Los Angeles proper, the Costa Mesa Freeway is a major commuter hub in the city. 1st Street and Newport Avenue both offer additional options for navigating the city limits, and on average traffic tends to flow smoothly in and around this popular locale.

What are the local media outlets?

Print news is covered by the 'Orange County Register', as well as the 'LA Times', while Tustin apartment residents can enjoy an array of radio format options including modern rock, contemporary hits, and urban jams. Close proximity to LA means much in the way of broadcast television affiliates as well.

Why live in Tustin, CA?

Consistently receiving high marks for its local school system (a top employer in the city as well) and brimming with local amenities including historical sites and plenty of public parkland, Tustin apartments are a fantastic way to connect with California. Offering a breeze of a commute to much of the souther Cali job market, including the bright lights and excitement of Los Angeles, this in-demand west coast hub is about as idyllic as it gets.

What Tustin landmarks should I see?

The old MCAS Base Tustin Blimp Hanger is simply a must-see feat of engineering, and the spiral roof pitch of the Sherman Stevens House is quite impressive as well. The Marconi Automotive Museum is convenient to a number of Tustin rentals, and Old Town Tustin is a history lover's dream, filled with quaint shops and plenty of homes that have stood the test of time.

What is there to do around Tustin?

Shopping options abound, from the upscale elegance of The District to the classic wares of Enderle Center, all within a short drive from many apartments in Tustin. The nearby Santa Ana Zoo is a great way to spend a day, Irvine Regional Park offers pony rides and wandering peacocks, and the Barolo Italian Cafe offers up delectable pasta and wine.

Any annual festivals or Tustin events to know?

The Concerts in the Park Series is a longstanding event that runs most summers, and the Tustin Food and Wine Festival dominates the autumn months, located just a short distance from numerous Tustin rentals and often drawing large crowds from surrounding communities.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit the numerous beaches that line the west coast, or take a drive south to San Diego for a fishing adventure, both easy options for those residing in Tustin apartments. Hollywood's nightlife and movie star glamour is only a short drive away, and the high roller tables of Las Vegas are even within reach for the truly adventurous.

Where is the best place to move in Tustin?

From the family ambiance of Tustin Ranch to the upscale luxury of the Tustin Legacy neighborhood, apartments for rent in this Calfiornia hot spot are wide reaching and readily available. Start your search today, and see what Tustin rentals have in store for you!
