Fullerton
Fullerton anchors the north end of Orange County with a downtown that has been continuously redeveloped since the late 1990s. The city's housing reaches back further than most in the county, with prewar Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, and bungalow stock close to the rail depot, plus larger hillside homes north of Bastanchury. California State University, Fullerton and Fullerton College both sit inside city limits.
