La Palma keeps residents close to a range of amenities
La Palma is one of the smallest cities in Orange County, with a residential feel and convenient location. The area appeals to buyers who want easy access to schools, parks and restaurants. The Artesia Freeway offers a connection to surrounding communities, and you have public transit and shopping centers often within walking distance. Residents here are also a short trip from retail in places like Cerritos and Long Beach, and there are famous vacation spots like Disneyland nearby.
Ranch-style and Spanish-style homes in a range of prices
Midcentury ranch-style and modern Spanish-style homes are common throughout La Palma. Most properties have sold from the lower $900,000s to about $2 million, but you can find smaller homes and townhouses that range from the mid-$600,000s to the upper $800,000s. Because of the city's size, you might live within walking distance of schools or nearby parks. Some homes neighbor the Joshua Medical Center and the La Palma Intercommunity Hospital.

La Palma has access to the Artesia Freeway.
Taking the freeway, bus or train to get around La Palma
Drivers hop on the Artesia Freeway, which connects to Interstate 5 on the way to spots like Disneyland or all the way to Manhattan Beach. “A lot of people like it because it’s convenient to LA and Orange County, plus it’s got its own police department, its own hospital and a library, which is rare for a city that small,” says Kimberly Bogan, Realtor and team lead of The Whitney Team with First Team Real Estate. The Orange County Transportation Authority provides countywide bus service, and Metrolink's Buena Park station connects commuters to employment centers across Los Angeles and Orange counties by train.
School options include multiple districts and private schools
La Palma is served by five school districts, and the city itself is home to public and private schools. You might be zoned for the Buena Park, Centralia Elementary or Cypress Elementary school districts. The Anaheim Union High School District covers most of the city, but some people are in the Fullerton Joint Union High School District. There are private schools in the area as another option, including the La Palma Christian School.
The Steve Luther Elementary School is in La Palma, home of the Lions.
John F. Kennedy High School is an option for La Palma students.

La Palma residents are moments from green space and parks
In the heart of La Palma is Central Park, a hub for using the athletic courts or joining annual events held there. You can also access the nearby Edison Right of Way, which has paved walking trails that span about 2 miles. The trails connect to the El Rancho Verde Park, where people go for a stroll or let kids explore the playground. La Palma's location means you're a short drive from experiences like Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland.

Visit Super 1 Mart for groceries and other shopping needs.
From Korean barbecue to sit-down Italian restaurants
The shopping center at the corner of La Palma Avenue and Moody Street is full of restaurants and grocery stores like Super 1 Mart. The Centerpointe business park in the northern part of the city also has busy restaurants. Some of the most popular spots to dine out are:
Mr. Lee's Barbeque House, an all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue spot
La Capilla Family Mexican Restaurant, a family-owned business serving homestyle dishes
A'Roma Ristorante, where you can sit down and order pasta, pizza and sandwiches
Isla Cuban-Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar, an upscale setting to enjoy traditional dishes or relax at the bar
The Kaiser Permanente medical office in Centerpointe hosts a farmers market every other Friday for people to browse fresh produce. If you want more shopping options, you can visit the nearby Los Cerritos Center or the Long Beach Towne Center.
La Palma residents get together throughout the year for events
Central Park is the venue for most of La Palma's annual community events. Some of the most popular events are:
Festival of Nations, an April celebration with a parade, carnival rides, food trucks and cultural performances
Concerts in the Park, a free summer series featuring live bands and food trucks at the Central Park amphitheater
Civic Expo & National Night Out, a day every August where the community can interact with first responders and enjoy live music
