Orange County - Pacific Sands homes are located in the South Huntington Beach area of Huntington Beach, California. The homes are located about 5 minutes to the beach off Beach Blvd and feature one and two story properties. There is a nice variety of three to four bedroom floor plans that range in size from 1,022 to 3,472 square feet of living space. Within the Pacific Sands neighborhood is the Pacific Sands Deane tract that features homes built in the 1960's. Buyers love this area for the quiet community and close proximity to the beach.

It is the principal route through the Cahuenga Pass, the primary shortcut between the Los Angeles Basin and the San Fernando Valley. It is considered one of the most important freeways in the history of Los Angeles and instrumental in the development of the San Fernando Valley.
