Does anyone live/lived in the Raymond Hills area of Fullerton. If so, could you share your thoughts about the area?
I recently discovered this unique section of Fullerton called Raymond Hills and I think I'm in love. The neighborhood backs up to the Coyote Hills golf course and is between Fullerton JC and Cal State Fullerton. I am seriously considering leaving Irvine to move to this area. For all of you that might be in a similar situation as me, wanting to find good alternatives to Irvine, I will share some of the things I find appealing about Raymond Hills Fullerton. But, please do share if you have have any inside experience as I am only someone on the outside looking in thinking everything is rosy.
1.Most of the lots in this area are at least a quarter acre and have views. Some panoramic.`
2.No two houses are the same with the exception of a tracts at the bottom of the hill that are planned tracts. It appears that many of the homes were custom built through the years.
3. The architecture is diverse. A blend of old historically craftsman, and spanish homes, mid-century modern homes, and (for some with bigger wallets) Mc Castles.
4. Old Downtown Fullerton is a short walk away.
5. Many hiking trails & Trees
6. Schools are comparable to Irvine. I particular like Beechwood Elementary which is a small school of 600 students that is K-8. API 917. Half the neighborhood feeds into Troy (not Troy Tech, must test in for that program) the other Fullerton High. Fullerton High School District does allow open enrollment. However, I'm not sure how easy it is to get your school of choice. I know Troy and Sunny Hills are in High demand.
7. Last but not least! What will buy you a detached condo in Irvine will buy you a nice house with a huge yard with sweeping views of Orange County in Fullerton.
Anyone else intrigued with this area?
