University Great Location Restaurants Shopping Outdoors

As its name implies, the College Park District offers easy access to two institutions of higher education. College Park is adjacent to Vanguard University and is home to Orange Coast College. Although this neighborhood is a great option for students, faculty, and staff, the College Park District is also an excellent choice for any renter who wants to be close to a wide variety of amenities. The neighborhood has several commercial centers, giving residents access to chain restaurants, grocers, discount stores, cafes, diverse restaurants, department stores, and more. Similar to many SoCal locals, College Park residents love spending time outdoors at nearby parks like Fairview Park and TeWinkle Park. And if you ever want to spend the day soaking in some sun, Huntington State Beach and Newport Beach are less than 15 minutes away from the neighborhood. U.S. Highway 55 and Interstate 405 allow for travel throughout this beautiful SoCal town.
