Downtown Fullerton, Fullerton Apartments for Rent

Downtown Fullerton is a shining example of how civic involvement and a solid revitalization plan can invigorate an urban section. The oldest section of Fullerton is on the rise, with leading alternative newspaper, the OC Weekly, calling the section the “Bourbon Street West” because of its influx of hip music venues, nightclubs and top-notch restaurants. It’s become a prime location for young, hip professionals in Orange County.

The western boundary extends north on Euclid Street from Valencia Boulevard to Commonwealth Avenue, on Ford Avenue to Wilshire Avenue, on Malden Avenue to Chapman and on Harbor Boulevard to the northern loop of Berkeley Avenue. It incorporates ZIP code 92832.
