The streets around historic Main Street are the original Yorba Linda, laid out when the town was founded in the early 1900s. Today this is the closest thing the city has to walkable living, with the Town Center, the library and Cultural Arts Center, City Hall and the Community Center all close together.
What it's like
More varied and less manicured than the hillside tracts. You will find older single-story homes on generous lots, mid-century ranch houses, and newer townhomes and condos, sometimes on the same street. Dinner, a movie, groceries and community events like Holiday on Main are a walk or a very short drive away.
Highlights
- Walk to restaurants, the movie theater, Bristol Farms and the library
- Minutes from the Nixon Library
- Easy access to Imperial Highway and Yorba Linda Boulevard
- A wider mix of home types and prices than most of the city
Homes
This area often provides the most approachable way into Yorba Linda, particularly its condos and townhomes. Older single-family homes on large flat lots are also sought after by buyers who want to remodel or add on.
What to know before buying
- Homes vary street by street. Age, condition and lot size differ widely, so neighborhood averages tell you little about a specific house.
- Older homes need closer inspection. Budget for plumbing, electrical and roof updates.
- Busier streets. Being near the main boulevards is convenient; check noise at the specific address.
