The OC: West Coast Living
Orange County: choose your lifestyle–with so many to choose from it’s no wonder that when people move here, they stick around. The OC contains an abundance of playhouses, museums, and a world-class performing arts center along with spectacular beaches, shopping, markets, amusement parks (Disneyland!), and outdoor recreation–mountains for skiing and hiking, lakes for fishing, beaches for bonfires, and of course the ocean for those into boating.
