Eastside balances classic Santa Ana character with everyday convenience, offering leafy residential blocks, locally loved eateries along 17th Street, and quick connections to employers throughout Orange County. The neighborhood’s eastern edge puts you minutes from Tustin and Orange, making regional commutes and weekend plans remarkably easy.
Family-friendly recreation stands out here. Spend an afternoon meeting monkeys and exploring lush grounds at the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park, then dive into hands-on science next door at Discovery Cube Orange County. Cultural excursions are close at hand, too, with world-class exhibits at the Bowers Museum. Commuters appreciate the walkable access to rail and bus connections at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center, and the coming OC Streetcar promises streamlined trips to job centers, shopping, and entertainment.
Schools are served by the Santa Ana Unified School District, with neighborhood campuses and respected magnet and dual-language options citywide. Many students continue into robust arts, athletics, and career pathways at Santa Ana High School, while the city’s Santa Ana Public Library anchors after-school learning and community programming.
