Garden Grove offers something that is getting harder to find in Orange County: a central location, established neighborhoods and prices that are often lower than many nearby cities. Here is what buyers should know about living in Garden Grove.

What Homes Cost in Garden Grove

As of October 2026, about 140 single-family homes, condos and townhomes are listed for sale in Garden Grove. Prices range from under $400,000 to about $2.6 million, with an average asking price near $995,000 and about $655 per square foot.

Much of Garden Grove was built in the 1950s and 1960s, so you will find plenty of single-story homes on standard lots, along with newer townhome communities. For many buyers, that makes Garden Grove a practical way to own a single-family home in central Orange County.

Things to Do

  • Christ Cathedral: the landmark glass church formerly known as the Crystal Cathedral.
  • Little Saigon and OC Koreatown: busy business districts known for restaurants, bakeries and markets.
  • Strawberry Festival: every Memorial Day weekend since 1958, with a parade, carnival rides and a giant strawberry shortcake at Village Green Park.

Schools

Most of the city is served by the Garden Grove Unified School District. Always confirm the assigned schools for a specific address before you make an offer.

Getting Around

Garden Grove sits between Anaheim, Santa Ana, Westminster and Huntington Beach. The 22 and 405 freeways and nearby Interstate 5 make it easy to reach job centers across Orange County and Los Angeles County, and the beach is a short drive away.
