Anaheim Hills Homes For Sale
Anaheim Hills is the most desirable residential community in Anaheim and one of the better-value hillside markets in all of Orange County. Buyers here get larger lots, hillside or canyon views, access to the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District, and a quieter suburban feel that is hard to find at comparable prices in coastal OC. As an Orange County real estate broker who tracks this market weekly through the Orange County Housing Report, I can tell you that well-priced homes here attract serious buyers quickly.
The community sits in the northeastern hills of Anaheim and feels distinct from the flat-land portions of the city. Homes range from traditional California ranch properties to custom hillside estates with panoramic views. Many properties feature three-car garages, large yards, and direct access to the trail systems that run through Sycamore Canyon and the Oak Canyon Nature Center.

Anaheim Hills Neighborhoods Worth Knowing
The Summit and Belsomet are the primary gated communities in Anaheim Hills, offering added privacy, security, and some of the best views in the area. Properties in these communities tend to carry a premium and attract buyers who prioritize those features specifically.
Hidden Canyon and Summit Pointe are sought-after pockets known for their hillside positioning and larger lot sizes. These neighborhoods appeal to buyers who want the Anaheim Hills lifestyle without necessarily being in a gated environment.
Homes along and near the Anaheim Hills Golf Course are a consistent draw for buyers who want golf course proximity with views of the fairways and surrounding hills. Properties here vary widely in price depending on the specific view orientation and lot configuration.
Peralta Hills is technically an unincorporated area of Orange County adjacent to Anaheim Hills and offers some of the largest lot sizes in the region. Buyers looking for acreage, equestrian potential, or maximum privacy often find what they are looking for here at prices below comparable estate properties in South County.

Anaheim Hills homes typically range from the mid $700,000s for smaller single-family properties to over $2,500,000 for custom hillside estates.

Anaheim Hills Real Estate FAQ
What makes Anaheim Hills different from the rest of Anaheim?
Anaheim Hills sits in the northeastern hills of Anaheim and functions as its own distinct community. Homes are larger, lots are bigger, density is lower, and the school district is different. Most of Anaheim Hills falls within the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District rather than the districts serving flat-land Anaheim. The combination of hillside views, golf course access, gated communities, and well-regarded schools makes Anaheim Hills the most desirable and highest-priced segment of the Anaheim market.
What price range should I expect for Anaheim Hills homes?
Anaheim Hills homes typically range from the mid $700,000s for smaller single-family homes to over $2,500,000 for custom hillside estates with panoramic views. Golf course homes and properties in gated communities like The Summit and Belsomet tend to carry premiums. Entry-level single-family homes are limited in this community and move quickly when priced correctly. For current pricing see our live Anaheim Hills market report.
Are there gated communities in Anaheim Hills?
Yes. Several gated communities exist in Anaheim Hills including The Summit and Belsomet.
