Homes for Sale in Santa Ana

Rich in history and heritage, the City of Santa Ana is located in the heart of Orange County, California and is considered a major city in Southern California. Incorporated in 1886, it became the County seat when Orange County was separated from Los Angeles County in 1889. Today, the city boasts a creative and progressive city government that is aided by community involvement partnerships with new real estate developments. Such partnerships as the CommLink, Santa Ana 2000, Council of Arts and Culture, Chamber of Commerce, and Hispanic Chamber of Chamber of Commerce all work together to keep their city vital and growing.

The school district has two Nationally Distinguished Schools, McFadden Intermediate and Greenville Fundamental Elementary, as well as several State Distinguished Schools. The city also has a campus of the Rancho Santiago Community College District as well as West Coast University and Pacific Coast College. Mater Dei, one of California's most popular and prestigious private high schools also calls Santa Ana home.

The neighborhoods are a wonderful mix of style and flavor. Many of the historic neighborhoods have been restored and maintained to their original form. The city boasts over 50 neighborhood associations that have a common purpose of working to improve their surroundings.
