New Horizons
Urban Core Neighborhood in Santa Ana, California
Orange County 92704
With its ranch-style houses and blooming gardens shielded behind wrought iron fences, New Horizons is the epitome of what people think when they hear suburban southern California.
This small, rectangular neighborhood, located just a few blocks east of the bed of the Santa Ana River, has wide, paved streets, sidewalks and big shady trees trying their best to keep the sun at bay. It’s where you’ll see houses that are generally one story, some Craftsman houses and some Spanish-style homes, right around the corner from one of the city’s most inviting parks.
In the grand scheme of Orange County, Santa Ana has always been considered one of the most affordable places to live, says Hani Jazayrli, Realtor with eXp Realty of Greater Los Angeles. But even so, the median home price in the city is around $1 million.
“It’s extremely limited inventory, like the rest of Orange County,” Jazayrli says.
In New Horizons, houses can cost anywhere from around $500,000 to north of $1 million. Some single-story homes here are built with both stucco and stone. There are some two-story houses here, including Spanish-style homes with big gardens and iron gates. Many of the homes have gardens with big flower bushes in pink, purple and red. Buy a house here on a lot with some palm trees and you’ll be living out your wildest southern California dreams.
Just outside of New Horizons is Centennial Park, a 70-acre community gathering space that borders the Santa Ana River bed. There’s tons to do at Centennial Park, including walking along the exercise trail, playing baseball, soccer, basketball or football, having a picnic or skating at the skate park. There’s also a playground for the kids, and a massive, beautiful lake. When you just want to relax, you can walk to a seating area, sit on a bench and watch as the ducks swim by.
New Horizons is mostly residential, but there are also a handful of places where you can get some yummy food. At El Comedor Cocina Mexicana, you can feast on huevos rancheros, quesadillas and burritos. Choose between dozens of roll combinations at Yo! Sushi Kitchen and Teriyaki. And there’s always the chance that you’ll come across a food truck, including Mexican eateries serving $1 tacos.
Children in New Horizons can enroll in the Santa Ana Unified School District, which has about 42,000 students and a student-teacher ratio of 22 to 1. School assignments vary based on home address. Some kids in New Horizons are placed at Diamond Elementary School, Carr Intermediate School and Valley High School. Carr Intermediate School, where the mascot is the Mighty Astros, is an engaged school community where kids participate in sports like cross country and clubs like history club and DJ club.
New Horizons is located just a few miles away from the 55, 5 and 405 freeways. Anaheim is located 10 miles north of the neighborhood, Irvine is 8 miles southeast and downtown Los Angeles is 39 miles northwest. With its floral bushes, iron fencing and classic California single-story homes, New Horizons could very well be the neighborhood of your dreams.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
