Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach stretches along nearly ten miles of open Pacific coastline in northwestern Orange County, and the surf-town identity built around its pier and Main Street still defines daily life here. The housing mix is unusually broad for a coastal city, ranging from walk-streets and beach cottages near the sand to gated hillside enclaves and large planned tract neighborhoods further inland. Buyers are typically drawn by the combination of an active outdoor lifestyle, a working pier, the Bolsa Chica wetlands, and a more relaxed pace than the harbor cities to the south. The terrain is mostly flat with a few low bluffs near Edwards Hill and Seacliff, and Pacific Coast Highway threads the entire shoreline.
