With a population of 126,003 and still growing strong, the city of Fullerton CA is located just 34 miles outside of Los Angeles, in close proximity to other popular California cities like Anaheim, La Habra, Brea, Placentia, La Mirada and Buena Park. The median age of residents in Fullerton CA is 33, with an average household income of about $50,000 and a median home value of about $242,000, according to the most recent U.S. Census. With the recent boom of the housing market, the home value in this area has increased dramatically.

Out of the city's residents over the age of 25, more than 80% hold a high school degree or higher and nearly one-third hold bachelor's degrees or higher. Fullerton CA real estate has bred a host of celebrities like Gwen Stefani, the San Francisco 49er's Adam Snyder and Baltimore Orioles' David Newhan. With access to four hospitals, six airports and an Amtrak station, as well as 16 colleges and universities, eight public/private high schools and 20 public/private middle schools, Fullerton CA real estate makes an ideal choice for any family to call home.

Fullerton CA is expanding and changing by the minute. New development projects keep the city's residents excited about their growing community. These new projects also provide an array of living options, like luxury homes and condos for new and first-time buyers to call home. The recent trend in city planning and development is the mixed-use project, combining all of residents' needs (shopping, dining, working and living) into one fantastic and close-knit location.

One such project planned for Fullerton CA is the SOCO district. Equivalent to New York's Soho, The Village and the French Quarter of New Orleans, the planned South of Commonwealth (SOCO) district will consist of businesses, eateries, and lounges on the city's Santa Fe Avenue. The area will be bordered by the Fullerton CA Transportation Center on the East and the famed Heroes restaurant on the west. The goal of the SOCO district is to extend the economic revitalization from the city's downtown area outward and create a pedestrian-friendly area for visitors to enjoy. This project began construction in 2004 and is scheduled for completion soon.

Another new attraction spicing up Fullerton CA real estate is the 10.8 acre Bastanchury Park, featuring lighted softball fields, a soccer field, a full basketball court, children's playground, concession stand, restrooms and a multi-purpose rail system of its very own. Talk a walk through the well-lit park, catch a little league baseball game, shoot some hoops with new-found friends, or just grab a hot dog and take in the park's lovely scenery. Fullerton CA offers more than fifty additional parks for resident and visitor enjoyment.

Complimenting these new additions is the history-filled Fullerton CA Transportation Center, which has served as the rail hub for Orange County since the 1880s. The rail system offers commuters another option besides driving to work, and more than 3000 passengers use the Fullerton CA Transportation Center during a given week. This is the busiest station in the county and the third busiest in the area's Metrolink system. To add to the popularity of this rail station, plans are underway to develop a mixed-use project consisting of shops, restaurants, condos, townhomes, lofts, commercial property and cultural venues. This residential/commercial project will no doubt increase the popularity of such a widely used area.

The city of Fullerton CA is located inside the ever-expanding county of Orange. More specifically, Orange County has grown to four times its population in just half a century.
