Western Garden Grove suburb
West Garden Grove carves out a quieter corner of the busy city of Garden Grove. “It’s a throwback neighborhood; it's so friendly. It’s almost hard to describe; you really have to experience it," says Geoff Tackney, Broker and owner of GMT Realty. "The litmus test I give buyers is to drive down the street and wave to people. Eighty to 90 percent of them will wave back to you with a smile.” Mindy Luong, Broker and Realtor who lives and works in the area, says the area is older, but it's beginning to reinvent itself as more people move to the western part of the city.
West Grove has many living options to choose from.
Welcome to Garden Grove and the West Grove neighborhood east of Beach Boulevard.

Older homes and planned new development
The residential streets of West Garden Grove are distinctly suburban, with older homes set back from sidewalks. Palm trees cast long shadows across the network of front yards and driveways. Most West Garden Grove homes were built in the 1960s, and previous owners carefully updated and maintained, making them sought-after properties today. “People are hunting the properties and making high offers,” Luong says. “There are a few newer houses, but developers have plans to build more.”
The ubiquitous ranch-style homes of the neighborhood start at $735,000 but can exceed $1.1 million. Modern traditional homes, often with Spanish influence like stucco siding and red barrel tiles, go from just over $1 million to $1.3 million.

Accessible parks in the area
A handful of parks ring the neighborhood, so residents in any corner of the neighborhood can easily get outside. This six-acre Edgar Park shares space with the Boys and Girls Club of Garden Grove, off Cerulean Avenue, surrounded by residential streets. Tall, mature trees dot the landscape and provide shade from the hot southern California sun. The jungle gym and swings sit on a rubber surface, offering some protection for kids as they run, climb and swing. Residents enjoy meeting up with friends for games at Chapman Sports Park. The complex is home to lighted courts and fields that accommodate rounds of tennis and street hockey.
Valley View Street restaurants and retail
“With all the young people moving in, it's starting to get trendier,” says Luong. “There are more businesses opening, like restaurants and places to go on the weekend.” Valley View Street is the neighborhood’s primary retail and restaurant corridor. Locals enjoy dining out at West Garden Grove spots like On the Rocks Bar & Grill and Augustino’s Italian Restaurant. Familiar chain restaurants like Shakey’s Pizza and Dairy Queen also cluster along the thoroughfare. Just off Valley View Street in the center of the neighborhood, West Garden Grove Center is a popular hangout. Residents can catch a movie and then enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants in the complex. Valley View Street also leads to Eastgate Plaza, where residents shop for groceries at Vons, get their nails done at one of the salons, pick out a new book at the used book store or grab dinner at one of the restaurants.
