Neighborhoods

Livability is the watchword of pride for 64 active associations representing neighborhoods with homes that span the past 116 years!  As a result, people know their neighbors and take an active role in issues that improve their quality of life.  In Santa Ana, “over the back yard fence” and “town hall” forms of networking ensure that residents’ voices are often heard all the way to City Hall.  They truly make a difference in the decision-making process.  Throughout the year, you’ll experience a host of neighborhood events and activities, including home tours, garden shows, concerts, and art exhibits, all in the context of neighborhood fun and pride.

In Santa Ana, residential neighborhoods range from custom-built homes to older historic treasures to more contemporary tract developments.  In many areas, an abundance of large yards and mature trees are a reflection of times past.  In others, the emergence of live/work artists’ lofts are breathing new life into the meaning of downtown urban living.
