Anaheim

Anaheim is a city located 28 miles southeast of Los Angeles and seven miles northwest of Santa Ana in Orange County. With a population of approximately 342,400, it’s the 10th largest city in California and 56th largest in the U.S., but also one of the safest cities of its size in the nation. Anaheim’s city limits stretch from Los Alamitos in the West to the San Bernardino County and Riverside County lines in the East, and encompass a diverse collection of neighborhoods and communities. Anaheim Hills is a master-planned community that resembles South Orange County more than the county’s northern cities. West Anaheim is notable for its more mature neighborhoods dating from the 1950s. The Anaheim Resort, a commercial district, includes Disneyland and the neighboring hotel and retail complexes. The Platinum Triangle, a neo-urban redevelopment district surrounding Angel Stadium, will soon be populated with mixed-use streets and high-rises. Finally, the Canyon is an industrial district north of the Riverside Freeway and east of the Orange Freeway. This city’s largest and most important industry is tourism, and is home to the Disneyland Resort, a world-famous grouping of theme parks and hotels which opened in 1955, the Anaheim Convention Center, the largest convention center on the American West Coast, and the Angel Stadium of Anaheim.
