Placentia is a community in northern Orange County and is surrounded by the communities of Fullerton to the west, Brea to the north, Yorba Linda to the east and Anaheim to the south.  Placentia is most easily accessible via the 57 Freeway at E. Chapman Avenue, which is just north of the 91 Freeway interchange.

Placentia was incorporated in 1926 and prior to end of World War II was an agricultural center for citrus, avacados, nuts, and grapes.  The community is infamously known for the railroad that was built through it in the early part of the 20th century to bring business associated with the Port of Long Beach and Los Angeles as trains head to and from the midwest.

Placentia today is a community of nearly 50,000 people and 12,000 households.  Students living in Placentia attend one of various elementary, middle, or high schools and therefore, we suggest visiting GreatSchools.net for the latest on class sizes, rankings, test scores, and parent reviews.

Placentia real estate was primarily built from 1960-1980 as the real estate boom spread throughout Orange County and some Placentia homes have been built as recently as the 2000s.  Placentia condos start from the $200,000s on averge and Placentia homes from $400,000 with some property values as high as the low millions for large lots and square footage.  To view all Placentia real estate currently for sale or to customize your Placentia home or condo search, please scroll down the page below the map.
