Yorba Linda Homes for Sale
Yorba Linda is the north county's larger-lot city — a long, hilly stretch between the 91 and the Chino Hills where the streets curve, the lots run deep and a network of equestrian trails still threads between the neighborhoods. The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and his birthplace sit near the center of town, and the Yorba Linda Town Center on Imperial Highway has become the walkable downtown the city never had.
Housing here is mostly single-family and mostly larger than its neighbors': streets like Olive Tree Circle carry the 1970s–80s two-stories on wide lots that define the west side, East Lake Village to the east is the lake community of homes, townhomes and pools built around its own water, and the hillside neighborhoods north of Bastanchury and along the Chino Hills edge hold the estate lots and view homes the city is known for.
Schools fall under the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District. The horse trails, Carbon Canyon and Chino Hills State Park to the north, and the Santa Ana River trail along the 91 are the outdoor life, and the 91 is the route to everything else.
Ismael Chavez has closed a home in Yorba Linda on Olive Tree Circle, and the team works the city as the eastern end of its Placentia and Brea map.

A hundred miles of horse and hiking trails, Chino Hills State Park at the back door, and the Santa Ana River trail along the 91.
Housing
The west side and the flats along Yorba Linda Boulevard are the 1970s–80s tracts — two-stories on lots noticeably wider than Placentia's or Anaheim's — where streets like Olive Tree Circle sit. East Lake Village is its own market: homes and townhomes around a private lake with pools and a clubhouse.
North of Bastanchury and along the Chino Hills edge the lots grow into half-acres and acres with view homes, horse facilities and the newer hillside neighborhoods that carry the top of the market.
Why we love it
Our closing on Olive Tree Circle is in the ledger — a west-side Yorba Linda two-story on a proper lot.
A city that kept its trails and its lot sizes when most of the county gave them up.
It caps our North Orange County map east of Placentia and Brea.
