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.
