Sunny Hills is an aptly-named suburb with nearby colleges
If you’re looking for homes nestled in the hills of north Fullerton, you’ve come to the right place. “The Sunny Hills area is very mountainous. It’s very peaceful, and the schools are excellent,” says Realtor Linda Suk of Century 21, who has lived and worked in the area for decades. Located in northwest Orange County, Sunny Hills occupies the northeastern edge of the city, just south of the low, rangy slopes of the West Coyote Hills. Once home to lush groves of citrus trees, the area is now a classic suburb with plenty of picturesque parks, public schools and several institutions of higher education — Fullerton College and California State University, Fullerton.
Sunny Hills stretches across the hills with a wide variety of homes.
Gardner Park in Fullerton offers shaded paths and open greenspace.

Landscaped lawns and curving, tree-lined roadways give some parts of the neighborhood an old-school suburban vibe, while others benefit from woodsy scenery, spacious lots and hillside views. Prices can range from around $800,000 to more than $1.5 million depending on size, age and acreage.
