Orange Park Acres, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orange Park Acres is an unincorporated county island surrounded by the City of Orange, California in Orange County, California. It is mainly composed of upper-middle class residents from the Orange city area. Its northern border is Santiago Canyon Road and its southern border is Chapman Avenue. It is comprised of approximately 5,500 residents and is about 1.4 square miles in size. Almost all the homes in this county island are set on lots of 20,000 square feet, a minimum requirement for this sector of Orange County. It has several equestrian areas, and many stables throughout the community. It consists of one shopping center, and is bordered by the Santiago Canyon College. It was founded in 1928 as the official equestrian destination of Orange County, which is what the community prides itself on today. Much of that historical heritage has been preserved with the lack of sidewalks and street lights, and the abundance of fenced horse trails.
