The bustling commercial area is full of restaurants across a broad range of options, including fast food, popular national chains and local eateries. The Joint Coffee Co. provides a cozy space for a coffee break, while Pocono Brewing Co. Taproom offers something a little stronger just across the parking lot. More craft beer options are available at Keystone Pub & Grill, a local chain famous for its wings. Right next door is City View Diner, a favorite for breakfast, serving the community since the 1960s.

Colonial Revival and ranch-style residences

The malls and highways are surrounded by suburban residential subdivisions. Most homes are located on quarter-acre lots with generous lawns and backyards. Ranch homes from the 1950s are the most common throughout Fullerton, though contemporary colonial-style examples on larger properties are found on the outskirts of the neighborhood. Condos and townhouses round out the housing inventory for those looking for less space, many of which are located within walking distance of commercial areas. Prices for real estate range between $135,000 and $500,000, depending on square footage. According to the CAP Index, Fullerton earns a crime score of 4 out of a possible 10, which is comparable to the US national average.

Recreation at community facilities and Jordan Park

Fullerton Community Center offers residents plenty of outdoor activities. Locals can enjoy gathering at the community pool during the warm summer months, and kids may burn energy at the park’s shady playground or play basketball at the courts. The park also features several little league ballfields and a football field used by the Fullerton Ramblers. The Ramblers hold a carnival every year at the park, a highly anticipated event with rides, vendors, live music and fireworks. More outdoor recreation is found at Jordan Park, which has a pool, playground, and skate park. It’s set along Jordan Creek, where locals can fish for trout or relax and enjoy the water views. The creek extends through nearby Jordan Creek Parkway, a popular spot to stroll through woodsy trails, play disc golf or grow plants in the community garden.
