Fountain Valley at a glance

Where Spacious Living Meets the Coastal Lifestyle.

The homes
Housing is weighted toward traditional single-family homes in mature, established neighborhoods. Lots around 7,200 sq ft are common, and homes often offer more square footage than comparable Huntington Beach tracts, which can make lower-priced options harder to find.
Why people choose it
People choose it to stay very close to the beach and much of the Huntington Beach lifestyle, often with more house and land, a comfortable established suburban feel, parks and a strong sense of community.
Getting around
Convenient access to the 405, a significant advantage for regular commuters.
Nearby
Borders Huntington Beach so closely you can cross between the two cities without noticing; the beach is a short drive.
The trade-off
Versus Huntington Beach: potentially more house and land and easier freeway access, but you give up the actual coastal-city location and immediate Huntington Beach lifestyle, and the wider range of lower-priced condos and cottages.
