Riverview West was primarily built between 1970 and 1990, giving the neighborhood an established yet modern feel with its Modern Traditional homes and 20th-century layout. “The neighborhood is a little older, so it has a great treeline,” says Samano. “Riverview West has a very nostalgic look. It’s pure Americana. You can picture your kids riding their bikes on the sidewalk.” Single-family homes are generally Modern Traditional or ranch-styles, selling from $690,000 to $1.2 million. “Generally speaking, it’s more economic than some other Santa Ana or Garden Grove neighborhoods,” says Samano. “You get more bang for your buck, and you get a bigger house and lot.”
