About Fullerton

Located in Northern Orange County, Fullerton is a suburb 22 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. Fullerton offers a peaceful suburb feel with easy access to the metropolitan area so that you can live away from the bustle, but commute to work in the city. Fullerton is known as a dynamic community and a hub for education and innovation, as it is home to California State University, Fullerton, one of the largest universities in the state. CSU Fullerton contributes to the town’s youthful energy and has a great influence on its cultural landscape.

Downtown Fullerton is the city’s heart, blending historic charm with modern conveniences like a bustling dining scene, bars, and unique shopping experiences.

Pros of Investing in Fullerton

The presence of CSU Fullerton and surrounding healthcare sectors creates a consistent demand for housing and a stable economy for investors. Fullerton is known for offering a well-rounded lifestyle as it consistently cares for its recreational spaces and parks. Because it is also so close to LA and other Orange County cities, Fullerton gives its residents a wide range of employment options, too!

Cons of Investing in Fullerton

Because Fullerton is a densely populated region, you might run into a lot of traffic and congested areas during peak hours. Most residents rely on single-car transportation, making some commutes and finding parking difficult. Additionally, the yearly influx of college students to the area and the demand for housing can strain the local market, drive rental prices up, and pose challenges for non-student residents to find affordable housing.

With all the best that Orange County has to offer, the City of Fullerton is a great place to live, work, and play. Hi, I’m Jay, Business Development Manager with Good Life Property Management, and today I’m in Fullerton, and I’m going to introduce you to three great neighborhoods. Golden Hills, Sunny Hills, and Coyote Hills. Take this Golden Hills neighborhood, known for its historic charm, vintage architecture, and community atmosphere. It’s also one of the most sought-after neighborhoods for rentals in North Orange County. It features single-family homes nestled in the quiet rolling hills on larger lots that encourage outdoor living. Just northwest is Sunny Hills. This neighborhood is home to the Ralph B. Clark Regional Park, offering over 100 acres of sprawling grassland, wooded hillsides and hiking trails. If you’re looking for open space and fresh air, Sunny Hills is the place to be. Over 100 acres of open space in the middle of Orange County. It’s incredible. As you travel even further north, there’s the Coyote Hills neighborhood, developed primarily between the 1970s and 1980s.
