Neighborhood

Living up to its name, the Block is a small neighborhood that stretches from South Lewis Street to City Drive. The Block has a variety of apartments and townhomes for renters to choose from. The neighborhood only has a few small cafes, shops, and a park, but the Block’s excellent location places residents just a short drive from some of Orange’s most popular spots. Downtown Orange is three miles away and is filled with trendy restaurants, bars, and more. For shopping, residents flock to MainPlace Mall and the Outlets at Orange, which are both under three miles away. Spend some time outdoors at Memory Lane Park and River View Golf Course nearby or head north to Disneyland for some family-friendly fun. Access to Highway 22 and Interstate 5 makes traveling throughout Orange easy.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
