La Palma offers convenience
Tucked in the northwest section of Orange County sits La Palma, the smallest city in the county at a total area of 1.83 square miles. But despite its small size, it offers its nearly 16,000 residents as much as cities much bigger than it. “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 with The Whitney Team, First Team Real Estate.

A large range of housing styles
Potential buyers will find single-family homes in a range of styles, built primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, including minimal traditional, prairie and ranch-style. There are also some 1990s and 2000s builds sprinkled throughout the area with Spanish-style influences like barrel-tile roofs and domed windows. Homes sit on neatly manicured lots, with landscaped front yards and short driveways leading to two-car garages. Lots are a bit small, so you'll be sitting close to your neighbors, but most side yards feature clusters of small trees and drought-resistant plant life, aiding in privacy as well as providing pops of greenery. Streets bend and curve, often ending in cul-de-sacs and sidewalks are plentiful, perfect for an afternoon stroll.
Prices for single-family homes range from around $550,000 for 1,000 square feet to nearly $1.5 million for 2,700 square feet. If you’re looking for a condo or townhome, you can find those bundled near the southernmost part of the city, with prices ranging from $425,000 for 900 square feet to $820,000 for 1,800 square feet.
