About Anaheim, CA

When the city of Anaheim was founded in the mid-1800’s, it is safe to say that even the most ambitious and forward thinking individual thought that the city would become what it is today. The city has evolved from one that thrived on agriculture to one that lives and breathes tourism. When a fellow named Walt Disney opened up a family fun park in the mid 1950’s, the fate of Anaheim was sealed. Today, there are a half dozen major theme parks either within the borders of Anaheim or within a 40 mile radius of the city. When you combine that with the ocean, the sun and the year round temperatures, it is easy to see why Anaheim is one of the most popular spots in the world to call home, and a great place to find a beautiful Anaheim apartment.

Perhaps no city in the country has more attractions than the city of Anaheim. Unfortunately, this record number of things to do and see is reflected in the fact that Anaheim apartments tend to skew on the expensive side. No discussion about things to do in Anaheim can be complete without mentioning Disney as well as Knotts Berry Farm and the other major theme parks in the area. You can also look for an Anaheim apartment on the beautiful coastline just a few towns over or you can enjoy the amazing sun and warm year round temps. You might pay a bit more for an Anaheim apartment than you would an apartment in other parts of the country, but once you see everything you get, few people would live anywhere else.

Anaheim is not only a city that bases most of its economy on tourism, but it is also a popular spot for corporate headquarters, too. This means a good mix of service jobs as well as high paying corporate jobs, too. This keeps the economy almost recession proof, and it also keeps Anaheim apartment prices on the high side, too. Anaheim is also a bit of a oddball when it comes to crime. The city has an extraordinarily low crime rate when you consider its size (just under 3 million people in the metro area) and when you think about how close the city is to Los Angeles (less than 30 miles). For these reasons and many more, Anaheim apartments are extremely popular.

A one bedroom Anaheim apartment is generally going to run you around $800 per month depending on the location of the building you’re renting in. A small one bedroom, around 700 square feet, is going to be around $1000-$1050. If you’re looking for more space, a larger two bedroom unit, approximately 850 square feet, will run you between $1200-$1350 depending on what neighborhood you want to call home. A larger unit will easily be over $1500 and there are also executive buildings with amazing views that cost well over $2000.
