Los Alamitos Homes for Sale

Los Alamitos is a small city in the northwest corner of Orange County with an outsized reputation, most of it earned by the Los Alamitos Unified School District, which also serves neighboring Rossmoor and Seal Beach. It is quiet, established, and close to everything — the 605, 405 and 22 meet here, and the beach at Seal Beach is a few minutes away.

Homes are mostly single-family tracts from the 1950s and 60s on good lots, along with the Rossmoor neighborhood next door (unincorporated, but everyone treats it as part of the same place).

Housing

The tracts are consistent and well kept; Rossmoor's bigger lots and its own schools within Los Alamitos Unified make it one of the most requested neighborhoods we work.
