Cypress is a quiet, suburban city in Orange County, known for its family-oriented feel and mix of housing options. Located near the Los Angeles County line, it offers convenient access to major freeways, shopping centers local restaurants and everyday amenities. Homebuyers are often drawn to the area's schools, community parks and balance of neighborhood living with easy access to nearby employment centers and coastal destinations.
You'll find a range of single-family homes across Cypress, from million-dollar Spanish Revivals to manufactured homes that sell for under $200,000. There are also townhouses and condos that round out the city's options. The median sale price for homes is around $1 million. "You're going here because you want to raise your kids in a nice, family-friendly neighborhood and not be bothered," says The Ave Agency broker and founder Joshua Glaz. Glaz also says some of his clients from Long Beach consider Cypress, but there might be more townhouses and condos for sale than detached homes.
Most of the city is served by the Cypress School District and the Anaheim Union High School District. Some families toward the city's outskirts might be a part of Los Alamitos Unified or Garden Grove Unified school districts. The city has multiple schools in the area. Cypress High School gets an A rating from Niche, and there is the occasional private option like St. Irenaeus Parish School, which is currently unrated. Cypress College is a major employer in the area, and students here pursue two-year degrees.
Cypress sits near several major freeways, including Interstate 605 and state Route 91, which connect to Interstates 5 and 405. “What’s nice about the location is that if you want to cut across for some reason, it’s a half-hour drive, so nobody is cutting through off the highway, which can be an issue in commuter cities,” Glaz says. The Orange County Transportation Authority operates bus routes linking the area to neighboring cities like Anaheim and Fullerton. The Buena Park Metrolink station is a short drive away, providing commuter rail service to Downtown LA. Cypress also has streets with dedicated bike lanes.
The city is full of parks, from spacious areas with room to play sports to public school playgrounds that residents use after school hours. Arnold Cypress Park is the largest green space here, and it reopened in 2025 after major renovations. You can visit to use the many athletic courts and fields or the fitness zone to get in some exercise. The park also has playground equipment near the covered picnic tables. Oak Knoll Park has the Cypress Community Center, which offers sports leagues for all ages and lunches for seniors. When people want a change of pace, they drive about 10 miles to the Long Beach shore to spend the day on the sand.
You don't have to drive out of the city when you want to shop or dine out. For groceries, there are options like Ralphs and Trader Joe's. You can also visit Target here, or head across the street to browse the stores in Cypress Plaza. The nearby Long Beach Towne Center has even more options, with over 50 stores and experiences.
