How Buena Park balances tourism and neighborhood life
Buena Park began as a small boysenberry farming community in the 1920s and has since grown into a Southern California city known for its concentration of entertainment attractions. Located in northwest Orange County, it combines major theme parks and dinner theaters with established residential neighborhoods just a few blocks away. Knott's Berry Farm remains the city's most recognizable landmark, attracting visitors year-round and serving as a key driver of the local economy. Beyond its tourist attractions, Buena Park offers more than 100 acres of parkland, featuring walking trails and recreational facilities that create a strong sense of community alongside its busy entertainment district.
Buena Park not only has many entertainment venues but also great shops and restaurants.
Knotts Berry Farm is at the center of life here.

Midcentury ranch-style homes and a lower median than Anaheim
The city’s median sale price is around $900,000, which is below the medians in neighboring Anaheim and Fullerton. Condos and townhomes generally sell from the high $400,000s to just under $2 million. However, single-family homes make up most of Buena Park’s housing inventory, many of them built during the wave of residential development that swept through Orange County in the mid-1900s. “You see a lot of ranch-style and postwar homes,” says Daniel Finder, Realtor with Innovate Realty, Inc. “Buena Park is also starting to undergo a revitalization effort. A lot of investors are interested in buying the older homes and rebuilding newer properties.” Most home sales fall between the mid-$600,000s and $1.5 million, though larger Mediterranean-style builds near Los Coyotes Country Club range from roughly $1.5 million to nearly $3 million.
Some of the city's largest homes are near Los Coyotes Country Club.
Ranch-style houses are one of the most common options.
Multifamily housing is also available.
Homes overlook the water in Lakeside.

From youth sports to hiking through Clark Regional Park
There are so many ways to stay active here. The dozen city-run parks provide space for playtime and outdoor exercise.

Clark Regional Park, a 100-plus-acre county park with multiuse trails and a fishing lake. And while Knott's Berry Farm is a major tourist destination, plenty of locals pick up season passes and visit throughout the year.
