A Southern California college town with something for all tastes

Urban College Town Bicycle-Friendly Restaurants Shopping Eclectic Exciting

Just north of Anaheim lies Fullerton, an energetic community full of public parks, unique shops, and an enviable variety of arts and entertainment options. This diverse area exhibits classic California, with Spanish-style homes and apartments set behind picturesque palm trees on wide boulevards. The area is full of families, artists, working professionals, and more, giving it a livelier atmosphere than surrounding areas.

The huge number of students enrolled at Fullerton College and Cal State Fullerton comprise a hefty chunk of the local population, and clusters of restaurants and nightlife hotspots can be found around their campuses. The Continental Room and Matador Cantina both command a crowd on the weekends, and Brea Mall offers up some of the best shopping outside central LA.

Theater and film events fill the calendar, and the local music scene has produced dozens of notable alumni over the years. With the 5 running along the southwest corner of town, multiple rail stations and bus stops, and a municipal airport on the west side, it’s easy to get wherever you may need to go from your apartment in Fullerton.
