🏘️ Why Washington Square is One of Santa Ana’s Hidden Gems

Tucked away north of First Street, Washington Square is a designated historic neighborhood celebrated for its 1940s architectural charm, tree-lined streets, and deeply rooted community spirit. Originally developed during the early suburban expansion of Santa Ana, the area remains one of the city's most tight-knit and active residential communities.

Here’s what makes it truly special:

• Year-round neighborhood events: Wine Garden socials, Progressive Dinners, Fourth of July Parades, Oktoberfest, movie nights, and holiday light tours.
  
  
• Strong community pride: Residents host neighborhood clean-ups, home tours, and volunteer with local initiatives.
  
  
• Just minutes from Downtown Santa Ana, where you’ll find award-winning restaurants, the Artist’s Village, the Frida Cinema, and a buzzing nightlife scene.
  
  
• Close to cultural institutions like Santa Ana College, the Orange County School of the Arts, and the Bowers Museum.
  
  
• Access to Metrolink, South Coast Metro, and major freeways for easy commuting throughout Orange County.
  
  

Fun Fact: Washington Square homes have been featured in local architectural walking tours due to their unique blend of Craftsman, Spanish Revival, and Cape Cod styles—many of which, like 1122 Freeman, are lovingly preserved and updated.
