Santa Ana CA is one of the largest cities in all of Orange County and offers a wide range of properties. There are some really cool old neighborhoods such as Floral Park which provide a cozy ambiance right in the middle of the OC Metro area. Sometimes, Santa Ana is inappropriately labeled by unknowing consumers as being a low income area. While this may be true of some areas, many parts of this enormous city are upper and upper middle income in nature. If your looking for a neat area of Orange County, with good freeway access, low crime rates, and a lot of character, Santa Ana probably has an area for you.
We'd like to highlight one particular area (since we were just there today) on the north/northeast side of Santa Ana known as Park Santiago. The area has an almost rural feel to it with many ranch and bungalow type homes.
Here's some examples of homes on the market:



And here is a map of the general area we are talking about, lots of great homes in good neighborhoods to the east and southeast as well:

So if you are having a hard time finding a nice home to buy in the areas you are currently looking, maybe it's time to give Santa Ana at try. If so here is a link to our
