Orange County's Most Populous City
Houses in Anaheim, CA
Welcome to Anaheim, Orange County's most populous city — home of the Disneyland Resort, Angel Stadium, and the Honda Center in the heart of the Greater Los Angeles area.
Anaheim sits in northern Orange County, California, within the Greater Los Angeles area, about 25 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. With a population of about 347,000, it is the most populous city in Orange County and the tenth-largest in California. The city began in the mid-19th century as an agricultural settlement, and for decades its economy turned on farms and citrus groves. Everything changed in 1955, when Disneyland opened and transformed Anaheim into one of the world's leading tourism destinations. The Disneyland Resort — joined by Disney California Adventure in 2001 — now anchors a resort district that also includes the Anaheim Convention Center and draws tens of millions of visitors annually. Anaheim's economy is far more than tourism, though: manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and a broad service sector employ residents across a genuinely diverse city. Sports and entertainment define the city's modern skyline. Angel Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Angels, and the Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks, sit in the Platinum Triangle, a district that has grown from low-rise industrial land into a dense cluster of housing, offices, and entertainment venues. Nearby, ARTIC — the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center — links Metrolink and Amtrak passengers to the broader region and sits alongside the Santa Ana River Trail. Neighborhoods range from the historic Colony District, where restored cottages and bungalows mark the city's origins, to the hillside suburbs of Anaheim Hills and the high-density towers of the Platinum Triangle. Secondary students attend the Anaheim Union High School District, anchored by campuses such as Cypress High, Western High, and Oxford Academy. Anaheim suits households seeking a lively, amenity-rich Orange County city with regional transit, diverse housing, and one of the country's best-known entertainment districts on its doorstep.
