North Victoria Dr, Floral Park

North Victoria Drive is a tree-lined street in the Floral Park neighborhood of north Santa Ana. It has the largest houses and lots in Floral Park. The homes on this street can truly be described as mansions, rivaling homes seen in Beverly Hills and other upscale areas in Los Angeles.

Floral Park is a historic area of Santa Ana. It consists of about 600 houses that were built in the 1920s through 1950s. Many of the houses are listed as historic properties by the city of Santa Ana. There is a Floral Park Neighborhood Association that focuses on neighborhood involvement, beautification and safety. The association sponsors several neighborhood events and activities.

The homes on North Victoria Drive are all custom-built and have a variety of architectural styles, ranging from Spanish to Colonial to Tudor. The homes are on large lots and many have pools, guest houses and tennis courts. Most are valued over $1 million.

The most surprising thing about North Victoria Drive is that it backs onto North Broadway, a busy commercial street. It’s also located less than a quarter mile from the 5 freeway. However, the neighborhood was in the area before the freeway and residents value the history and the neighborhood feeling above the surrounding area.
