Floral Park
Landscaping and historic homes under the Mills Act
Floral Park’s busy sidewalks are lined with so many tall oak and sycamore trees that it feels right out of a woodland fairytale. “It’s a designated urban forest. One of the things the neighborhood works toward is planting trees,” DeAngelis says. The neighborhood has high curb appeal; homes here have meticulously maintained exteriors and spacious lawns landscaped with local flora, especially the historic houses. Many homes here qualify for the Mills Act, which provides tax credits to owners of historic homes who agree to protect, preserve and maintain their property per specific preservation standards. “There are incredible houses, a great neighborhood and wonderful people. The houses are unique and historic,” DeAngelis says. Newcomers to Floral Park can find a dizzying array of home styles lining the wide residential streets. There are Mediterranean homes, Colonial Revivals, Tudors and Cape Cods, all with spacious yards. Most range from $1.3 million to $1.5 million. No matter the style, they’re in demand: “We have very low inventory available,” DeAngelis says.Neighborhood association events
The Floral Park Neighborhood Association hosts many events to bring neighbors together throughout the year. “It’s an involved community,” DeAngelis says. “I’d say 60% of people are very involved in the neighborhood.” Popular events include the annual Walk of Lights, in which dozens of homes participate in a contest of vibrant Christmas lights displays, and the annual Walk of Frights, celebrating Halloween with spooky decorations for trick-or-treaters. Residents also open their homes for the annual Floral Park Home and Garden Tour, which is also a philanthropic endeavor. “Volunteers for the house tour created 30 scholarships to local students, and we’re giving 10k to local charities,” DeAngelis says. “It's a real neighborhood— people help each other, and there’s a lot of community involvement. I'm impressed and I've lived here 30 years.”Santa Ana public schools

Named after Santa Ana resident and decorated WWI hero Jack Fisher, Fisher Park offers over 2 acres of green space on the northern edge of the neighborhood. It has a log cabin often reserved for cookouts and parties. A cannon replica sits near the entrance, a popular attraction for kids to climb. For more fun, a large playground sits close by. Benches and picnic tables are scattered throughout. At Sarah May Downie Herb Garden, neighbors can relax and read a book on one of the benches as butterflies pollinate flowering plants.Retail on 17th Street
Floral Park’s walkability makes it easy to get to stores and restaurants along 17th Street. While shopping is limited within the neighborhood, the main thoroughfare has a Big Saver Foods for groceries and a 7-Eleven convenience store. As for local restaurants, Peking Kitchen offers a casual atmosphere and cushy booth seating.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
