Why This Location Is Truly Special

Living at 426 W 1st Street means being steps from the soul of Old Town Tustin—a historic district that still feels like a small town tucked into Orange County. Weekend mornings often begin with coffee at local favorites along Main Street, while evenings bring live music and community energy during Sunset Markets.

Residents quietly cherish annual traditions like the Old Town Chili Cook-Off, the festive Christmas Tree Lighting, and neighborhood strolls during the holiday season when Main Street glows with lights and classic storefront charm.

Just a block and a half away, Peppertree Park offers shaded lawns, playgrounds, and seasonal programming like Concerts in the Park and Broadway in the Park, where locals gather for outdoor performances under the stars. The nearby tree-lined streets, vintage bungalows, and preserved commercial buildings give this area a storybook feel that’s increasingly rare in Orange County.

Market Scarcity & Investment Appeal

Well-located condos with dual en-suite bedrooms, private outdoor spaces, major system upgrades, and a true walkable lifestyle are becoming increasingly difficult to find—especially at this price point. Add in proximity to Old Town Tustin, low inventory in the area, and long-term neighborhood appeal, and this home stands out as both a lifestyle purchase and a smart long-term investment.
