Exciting developments in the accessible city of Stanton
A thriving community with a small-town feel, Stanton offers a blend of lush parks, everyday necessities and striking homes. “Stanton is an established community that has really upgraded its image in the last decade,” says local Realtor Jennifer Thomas with Seven Gables Real Estate, who has over 35 years of experience. “Lots of new construction is happening everywhere. Restaurants, shopping and mid-rise, mixed-use housing are making it a vibrant city.” Stanton students can attend schools in Garden Grove, as well, ensuring highly rated public education. The city's top selling point may be its convenience: it is situated adjacent to Anaheim and Garden Grove and 12 miles from Santa Ana, Downtown Orange and some of Southern California’s most popular beaches. Thomas says that with Highway 39, also known as Beach Boulevard, residents can easily get anywhere from the mountains to the ocean.

From Stanton’s mobile homes to million-dollar Spanish-inspired colonials
The city’s real estate is composed of ample Spanish-influenced architecture, including townhouses, condos, mid-century ranch-style homes and a smattering of larger Colonial Revivals. Condos in the area typically go for $400,000 to $600,000, while most single-family homes often start around $600,000 and climb over $1 million. Some of these homes sit in subdivisions and communities, such as Sunshine Village and Sienna. More affordable $100,00 to $300,000 two-to-three-bedroom homes can be found in mobile home parks. The city’s sunny streets are lined with modest but well-kept yards and gardens, their sidewalks shaded with palm trees. Lots are typically close together and many homes are sorted into organized grids.

Shop big-box stores in Stanton, and indulge at Rodeo 39
North Orange County features a considerable assortment of retail options. From the Stanton Marketplace, home to one of the largest indoor swap meets in Southern California, to the rush of Beach Boulevard, locals can find an array of shopping and dining. Residents have access to national supermarkets, such as Food4Less and Smart & Final, and department stores, including Target, Walmart and The Home Depot. A melting pot of flavors, this city is home to a collection of restaurants that cater to many palates. Numerous local favorites sit at one convenient location at the modern food court, Rodeo 39. “This newer shopping plaza is a fun place to hang out. There are wonderful restaurants, and there is a fun area to play video games,” Thomas says. This vibrantly decorated food hall and public market allows customers to take their pick from craft cocktails or artisanal baked goods to Laotian barbecue or hand-made pasta. It also hosts entertainment, such as live music at Grub & Groove events, paint nights and trivia. Rodeo X in Ontario Ranch, Rodeo 72 in Whittier and Rodeo River Street in San Juan Capistrano are all current and upcoming constructions based on Stanton’s Rodeo 39.

Stanton events keep the city close
“Large neighborhood parks, libraries, senior events and sports are what truly bring the community together,” Thomas says. Stanton also holds city-wide events, such as the Halloween Festival, featuring games, costume contests and food trucks. In December, the city hosts a Christmas Tree Lighting with arts, crafts, live music and plenty of holiday cheer.
