Koreatown is a growing hub of Korean American culture in Orange County
If you'd like a steady supply of Seoul-ful barbecue or bulgogi close to home, consider moving to this pocket of Garden Grove. Like the well-known Los Angeles Koreatown, this one is notable for a concentration of Korean American businesses, though it's more low-key. Widespread recognition outside of the community is still pending; it was only in 2019 that the Garden Grove City Council officially named it "Orange County Koreatown."The area became an established cultural enclave in the 1970s, though the seed was planted in 1955. That's when, according to the LA Times, Korean War veteran and Olympian diver Sammy Lee bought a home in Garden Grove after being denied the opportunity elsewhere in the county. Like most of the city, it's a comfortable, though densely populated neighborhood. The residential streets have a suburban vibe, with clean sidewalks accompanying small front yards embellished by greenery and flowers.
Magnificent plumerias proliferate in Koreatown.
Koreatown in Garden Grove is an inclusive community.

Koreatown's homes get homebuyers more square footage for their money
Midcentury designs are common — primarily single-level homes, including ranch-styles, though there are some older or newer builds as well. Single-family two- to four-bedroom homes are priced from about $600,000 to $1.5 million. Town houses and condos cost a bit less: $400,000 for a one-bedroom to over $600,000 for a three-bedroom version. Courtney O'Steen, a Realtor with Keller Williams Empire Estates, shares why homebuyers make the pick: "They choose to live here compared to other areas deep in Orange County because of the affordability," she says, explaining that that translates to more square footage per dollar. Another selling point she mentions is that it's ideal for commuters working in other parts of the county or even Downtown LA.
Large ranch homes with lush landscaping are common in Koreatown.

Students can attend highly rated Orange County schools
Parents will be glad to know that the schools are highly rated; a positive pretty much expected in Orange County. Stanford Elementary won a Pivotal Practice Award for its student intervention services and was named one of the 900 best elementary schools in the state by U.S. News and World Report. At the next levels, there's Alamitos Intermediate School and Rancho Alamitos High School. All three public schools have A- grades from Niche. A private option in the neighborhood, Olive Crest Academy, serves kindergarten through high school levels and is accredited by the National Association of Private Special Education Centers.
