Single family homes in Orange County, CA

Single Family Homes in Orange County, CA

This web page was created as a complementary page to my Condos and Town homes web page. For many buyers, the concept of a "home" is a detached, single family home with a private back yard. The reasons are many. First, your own yard. This is the place to relax, plant a garden, or enjoy your own private pool. A grassy yard is also great for the pet dog. Second, low or no HOA dues. You are not paying for common walls or shared maintenance. Third, room to grow. Generally, single family homes have more bedrooms and more space. If your family is expanding, you will soon out grow that condominium. Last, privacy. From the entrance to the rear fence, you own the whole property!

Whether you are buying your first home, upsizing, or relocating to Orange County, CA, you can find your ideal detached home on this page! The first section is a home search by city. If you are unfamiliar with the OC cities or if you are looking for an area with low crime or great schools, please feel free to call me. The second section is a search by price range. This search has been divided into three areas of the County -  North, South, and Beach areas. The third section is a specialty search, using search features that are popular with many of my buyers. Finally, there is a section for other web pages on my site where you can find pool homes, gated communities, vintage homes, houses with no Mello Roos, and many other related pages. If you would like a customized search, just call or e-mail me.
