French Court is a compact residential enclave in Santa Ana where early 20th-century cottages, Spanish Revival duplexes, and leafy streets create an easygoing, neighborly rhythm. Many homes showcase period details that reflect the city’s commitment to stewardship; learn more about local resources through the city’s historic preservation program. Daily needs are close by, and the city center’s galleries and eateries are a quick hop away.
Weekends write themselves here. Families can feed the lorikeets and ride the Zoofari Express at the Santa Ana Zoo, then explore rotating exhibitions at the Bowers Museum. The coming OC Streetcar is set to simplify car-light living across central Orange County, linking neighborhoods and major destinations with frequent service.
Schools are a strong draw. The area is served by the Santa Ana Unified School District, and families often look to specialized options like the nationally recognized Orange County School of the Arts. Parks and open spaces, including the Santiago Park nature area and the Santa Ana River Trail, offer room to run, cycle, and decompress. Commuters appreciate quick access to job hubs in nearby Tustin, with major freeways and transit close at hand.
