"The Other Entertainment Center in Orange County"
Buena Park is located in northern Orange County and has a population of about 84,000. The city is solidly middle class with neighborhoods of small midcentury homes. Buena Park is located near the 5 and 91 freeways, making it a good hometown for commuters. Because it’s farther from the coast than most other cities in Orange County, high temperatures can make Buena Park an uncomfortable place to be in summer and fall. Luckily the beach is easily accessible with about a 15 mile drive down Beach Blvd.
Buena Park is best known for its “E-Zone” district where several entertainment venues are available along a short stretch of Beach Blvd. The most notable of these venues is Knott’s Berry Farm. This theme park is often compared to Disneyland, which is only about 10 miles away. Although the two parks were created around the same time in the 1950s, they have distinct characters.
Many people favor Knott’s Berry Farm because it has true roller coaster and thrill rides and has less of a corporate feel than Disneyland. Its origins as a fruit stand in rural Buena Park are still in evidence, including a very popular restaurant that has served chicken dinners and boysenberry pie since the park opened. Knott’s also runs an adjacent water park called Soak City. Two other nearby venues that are independent from Knott’s are Medieval Times and Pirate’s Adventure. These are both dinner theaters that provide an immersive entertainment experience.
For residents of Southern California, Buena Park has always been known as one of the best places for fun and entertainment in the area.

"Main attractions all located near Beach Blvd."
Buena Park is a decent city almost synonymously known as the home town of Knott’s Berry Farm. While it lacks some of the worldwide mega million dollar glamour of its rivaling theme park in the next city over (Disneyland in the city of Anaheim) it’s still a good place to visit for some fun. Beach Blvd. is however the strip to be on when visiting Buena Park because that’s where you’ll find the theme park, food chains and restaurants, the Buena Park Mall nearby and novelty restaurants like the Pirates Dinner Adventure which features a dinner and pirate show included in the entrance fee, The Ripley’s Believe or Not Museum, and the Movieland Wax Museum. Since Beach Blvd. is such a hotbed for entertainment and attractions in this city there is generally a lot of tourist traffic. The cost of living in this area also seems fairly reasonable with residential options for living include single family home neighborhoods on Knott Ave. and Western as well as apartment complexes if that is more your preference. Accessibility to freeways is predominately access to the 91 freeway which you can take to connect to the 5, 57 or the 55 freeway which is a plus.
