Melrose-Backs Historic District
Melrose-Backs Historic District blends century-old craftsmanship with everyday convenience in the heart of Anaheim. Along tree-shaded streets, early 20th-century Craftsman and Spanish Revival homes show off generous porches, clinker-brick details, and original woodwork—hallmarks of a neighborhood where preservation matters. Weekends here can be pleasantly unhurried: explore exhibitions at the MUZEO Museum and Cultural Center or catch a show at the historic Pearson Park Amphitheatre, then sample local flavors at the Anaheim Packing House within the celebrated Anaheim Colony Historic District. Cultural outings, parks, and neighborhood events keep the calendar full without straying far from home, and the broader amenities of Orange County are close at hand.
Families appreciate strong educational options. Younger students are served by the Anaheim Elementary School District, while teens advance through the Anaheim Union High School District, with signature programs in arts, STEM, and college readiness. Local history buffs will enjoy the City’s heritage resources and museum programming at MUZEO, and food lovers can make a habit of the community gatherings hosted by the Anaheim Packing District. Thoughtful updates are common, but many homes retain cherished period character, and buyers occasionally find opportunities that may qualify for historic-home benefits through the city’s preservation framework, a hallmark of living in a district that values its roots.
