Homes in Anaheim Hills
“There are lots of gated communities and many homes have stellar views of snow-covered mountain peaks. Plus, there is no Mello-Roos Tax,” Fairweather says. Towering sycamores, oaks, eucalyptus and palm trees paint the tropical landscape, and area residences are often designed with Mediterranean and Tuscan influence, including stucco or moonstone exteriors with terra cotta tile roofs. The starting point for a single-family home is around $650,000, and houses under 2,000 square feet are usually under $1 million. Properties around 3,000 square feet with mountain views may list for around $2 million, while privately gated, sprawling French Provincial and Tudor-inspired estates over 4,000 square feet can fetch over $4 million. Peralta Hills and Copa De Oro, two of the most exclusive communities, offer half an acre to 1 acre lots, with most chateau-like villas having private pools and tennis courts. Roads in these areas are often narrow and windy, with no sidewalks or streetlights. While two-bedroom condos start at $500,000, townhouses are often priced between $600,000 and $900,000.

Enjoy myriad mountain biking and equine trails throughout Anaheim Hills
“Anaheim Hills is the mecca of mountain biking, and there are bike racks and tools attached to cables for hikers along the trails,” Fairweather says. Residents can enjoy one of the 15 mountain biking trails that meander throughout the area, including the Hidden Canyon Trail. Horseback riders are spotted practicing at the Anaheim Hills Saddle Club or riding the myriad equine trails in the neighborhood; popular riding destinations include Deer Canyon Park and the Anaheim Hills Trail. Yorba Regional Park sits adjacent to the Santa Ana River and provides 140 acres of ball fields, green space, picnic areas with over 400 tables and additional trails for horse riding, biking and hiking. People may also enjoy paddling, sailing or fishing at the park’s four connected lakes. The 16-acre Ronald Reagan Park sits atop a hill, offering sports fields, courts, playgrounds and picnic areas. Families can bring their children to Oak Canyon Nature Center for a short hike or visit the onsite John J. Collier Interpretive Center for exhibits on natural history. Golfers may also book tee times at the Anaheim Hills Golf Course or Green River Golf Club.

Orange Unified School District
Prospective primary schools include Anaheim Hills Elementary School and Crescent Elementary School, both of which have an A Niche rating. El Rancho Charter Middle School has an A-minus, while Canyon High School scores an A and offers academic pathways in aviation and film production as well as Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs. “The high school recently had a $40 million upgrade for expansion and added new academic programs,” Fairweather says. “People really like the public schools, and they feel confident their children can do well there.”

Additional grocery store options include Ralphs and Mother's Market & Kitchen, which carries health-focused, organic produce. Nearby shopping destinations include The Market Place, Irvine Spectrum Center and the premier South Coast Plaza, all located within 30 miles of the neighborhood.

Navigating Anaheim Hills and beyond
“The beauty of Anaheim Hills is once you get off the freeway you are home in 5 minutes,” Fairweather says. Conveniently situated near several highways, Anaheim Hills is about 20 miles away from John Wayne Airport via California State Route 55, and Irvine is a 19-mile drive through California State Route 261. For trips down to the beach, Newport Beach and Corona Del Mar are both about 25 miles away, while Orange and Santa Ana can be accessed with local streets. The Orange County - Anaheim Medical Center is about 8 miles to the west.

Niche Review
Very classy, safe, and functional community. You are 20 minutes from the beach, an hour from the mountains, and just minutes from everything else. There are good stores, decent retail, and fun activities are not far from you. Hiking in Anaheim Hills is the best because, as the name suggests, the city is filled with hills and places to discover. Don't get me wrong, this is not a rural area.. but it offers a bit of everything.

This area is known for the Foxfire, where older women (cougars) are constantly on the prowl. You have to drive a little farther to get to a club or a bar. The closest to that would be a restaurant with a bar in it.
