The neighbourhoods

Where Buena Park actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Beach Boulevard Entertainment Corridor

An entertainment strip about a mile long anchored by Knott's Berry Farm to the south and The Source OC shopping center to the north; the corridor traces back to Knott's Ghost Town, opened 1952.

Los Coyotes Country Club

Neighborhood around the golf course built on the former adobe headquarters site of the 46,806-acre Rancho Los Coyotes land grant; the area dates to 1957.

Buena Park Historic District

Cluster of relocated 19th-century structures near the Stage Stop Hotel, including the 1886 Whitaker-Jaynes House and the 1884 Bacon House, both moved to the site in 1994.

San Tract

Southeastern Buena Park neighborhood of single-family homes and small apartment complexes largely built in the 1960s and 1970s.

Western Buena Park

Area near the Fullerton border where some properties fall within the Fullerton Joint Union High School District boundary.

Downtown Beach Boulevard

The city's original commercial core near Artesia and Beach Boulevards, the site of the artesian well and park-like grounds that gave the city its name.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Buena Park, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

Coffee at TBaar, then whatever the day actually needs.

Afternoon

An hour at Rick Gomez Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Ocean Snack, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
