The homes in Anaheim Hills
Building started in 1971 on former ranch land, and the hills filled in tract by tract over the next two decades. Around 1990 the city approved East Hills and The Highlands near Weir Canyon Road, which pushed the community east toward the 241. The housing is mostly single-family tract homes on graded hillside lots, with condos and townhomes mixed in. Some lots have canyon or city views.
Neighborhoods and tracts
Anaheim Hills is made up of dozens of named tracts. Some of the better known names are The Summit, The Highlands, East Hills, Sycamore Canyon, Canyon Heights, Nohl Crest, Quail Ridge, Bauer Ranch and Peralta Hills. ZIP code 92807 covers the western part and 92808 the eastern part.
Many tracts have a homeowners association, and the dues and rules vary a lot from one to the next. The city formed a Mello-Roos district in the Sycamore Canyon area near Weir Canyon Road in 1989. Whether any special tax still shows on a tax bill depends on the address, so ask Tony to check before you tour.
Schools
Most of Anaheim Hills is in Orange Unified School District, not the districts that serve the rest of Anaheim. Orange Unified schools here include Anaheim Hills, Canyon Rim, Crescent, Imperial, Nohl Canyon and Running Springs elementary schools, El Rancho Charter School for the middle grades, and Canyon High School on Imperial Highway.
Addresses north of the 91 and the Santa Ana River are in Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District instead. Esperanza High School, which is in Anaheim, belongs to that district. The line follows the freeway and the river, so ask Tony to confirm the district for any address near it.
Parks, shopping and landmarks
Oak Canyon Nature Center is a city-owned park of three canyons with about four miles of trails. Deer Canyon Park Preserve connects to it by trail. Santiago Oaks Regional Park, run by OC Parks, sits along the south edge, and the Weir Canyon trails are on the east side. There is an 18-hole golf course, two branch libraries, Canyon Hills and East Hills, and the Anaheim Hills Festival shopping center.
Getting around
The 91 runs along the north side, the 55 is the west edge and the 241 toll road is the east edge. Imperial Highway and Weir Canyon Road are the main ways on and off the 91. The nearest Metrolink stop is Anaheim Canyon station, on the Inland Empire-Orange County Line. That line does not run to Los Angeles Union Station.
Buying in Anaheim Hills
Three checks matter here more than in the flatland. Parts of Anaheim Hills are in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone on the state maps updated in 2025, which affects disclosures and can affect insurance, so ask Tony to check the address. The hills have also had landslides, in 1993 and in 2005, so a geology review can be worth the cost on a slope lot.
The third check is the HOA, since dues and rules differ from tract to tract. Tony is also a licensed mortgage loan originator (NMLS ID 2359276) and can go through what you may be able to borrow, with dues and any special tax counted, before you tour.
Selling in Anaheim Hills
Buyers here ask early about fire zone status, insurance, the HOA and the slope behind the house. Having the fire hazard disclosure, HOA documents and any past geology or drainage reports ready before listing saves time once an offer comes in. Tony is a REALTOR licensed in California since 2007 and works in Anaheim Hills from his office at The Real Estate Solution in Cerritos.
