Apartments for Rent in Silverado CA

Silverado is a rare pocket of mountain living inside Orange County, a former silver-mining town that has kept its quiet, nature-immersed character for nearly 150 years. With a population spread across 68 square miles of canyon terrain, its where daily life revolves around canyon trails, open sky, and the rugged backdrop of the Santa Ana Mountains. The small community borders Cleveland National Forest, and Disneyland, Huntington Beach, and UC Irvine are all roughly 30 minutes away by car.

Silverado is a California Historical Landmark, partly because portions of the community sit on the former Mexican land grant Rancho Lomas de Santiago. That deep layering of history, Indigenous heritage near the village site of Puhu, and 19th-century mining legacy gives this small enclave a sense of place that goes well beyond its size.
