Anaheim Hills is a master planned community encompassing the
eastern portions of the city of Anaheim. There is a police substation and
community center along Santa Ana Canyon Road. The Anaheim City Council includes
the community under the Canyon and Hills Area General Plan. Appraisers note
that Anaheim Hills has several distinct features that make it a unique
community. First, it is set in the rolling hills that line the Santa Ana
Mountains, which provides great views of surrounding Orange County basins. It
is also known for its expensive, upscale shops and numerous mansions that
occupy almost every hillside. "The Hills" also boast the safest zip
code in Orange County, which makes Anaheim Hills a virtually crime free area.
Another interesting feature is that it is one of only a few of Orange County's
notably wealthy inland communities. The majority of the counties wealthy class
live in coastal communities like Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Corona del Mar,
Dana Point, Seal Beach, and San Clemente. In fact, Anaheim Hills exceeds the
median home value of most of these coastal communities. Anaheim Hills also has
one of Orange Counties largest outdoor plazas, The Anaheim Hills Festival,
which houses 200 stores, restaurants, and other services. |
