Stanton
Stanton is a small, dense central Orange County city tucked between Anaheim to the east and north, Garden Grove to the south, and Cypress to the west. The housing stock is a mix of modest single-family homes, older multifamily buildings, and mobile-home parks that reflect the city's historical role as a lower-cost alternative to its larger neighbors. Beach Boulevard (State Route 39) runs through the city and shapes the commercial spine.
