Buena Park Homes for Sale

Buena Park is best known for Knott's Berry Farm and the entertainment corridor along Beach Boulevard, but the city people actually live in is the residential grid on either side of it: post-war tracts of single-story homes on cul-de-sacs and quiet through-streets, laid out in the 1950s and 60s and kept up ever since. The 5 runs through the middle of the city and the 91 crosses the north end, which is exactly why so many families who work across the region choose it.

West of Beach Boulevard, streets like San Bruno Drive and San Alano Circle sit in the tracts near the Cypress line; north of the 91, Brae Burn Place and the neighborhoods around the Los Coyotes Country Club are the city's larger-lot pocket. The Buena Park Metrolink station on the Orange County Line adds a train option to downtown Los Angeles and Orange County that most of North OC does not have.

Schools are served by the Buena Park School District, with parts of the city under the Centralia, Savanna and Magnolia elementary districts, and by the Fullerton Joint Union High School District and Anaheim Union High School District at the high-school level depending on address. The Source and the shops along Beach Boulevard and Orangethorpe Avenue handle the errands.

Ismael Chavez has closed homes here on San Bruno Drive and Brae Burn Place, so when a Buena Park tract comes up we usually already know the floor plan.

Lifestyle

Knott's Berry Farm and Soak City, the Source on Beach Boulevard, Silverado Days at Ralph B. Clark Park, and Korean food along the Beach corridor.

The Metrolink station makes Buena Park one of the few North OC cities where a downtown L.A. commute can happen by train.

Housing

Most of the city is single-story tract homes on real lots — three and four bedrooms, attached garages, and the kind of cul-de-sac layout families ask for. Many have been opened up and updated; others are original and waiting.

North of the 91, the streets around the Los Coyotes Country Club carry the larger lots and two-story homes. Condominium and townhome communities sit closer to Beach Boulevard and the freeways.

Why we love it

Our closings on San Bruno Drive and Brae Burn Place are in the ledger — this is a city we work from the inside.

Between Cypress and La Habra, Buena Park is the middle of our North Orange County map.

A real train stop, two freeways, and streets that stay quiet anyway.
