Lowell Apartments for Rent

With the high prices of so many areas of Orange County, Lowell in La Habra offers a good alternative for families who desire an affordable, family-friendly alternative. Landscaping and architecture in Lowell is often described as casual, yet elegant, and the neighborhood is an obvious destination for families with children.

Lowell offers a wide variety of community programs for children and adults alike. With a focus on good education, it is little surprise that the elementary and high schools of the area frequently fall into the top echelon of educational institutions statewide. The nearby universities of University of California-Irvine and California State University-Fullerton (Irvine Campus) are both considered community assets.

Within Lowell itself, families and children enjoy the cultural programs on offer via the La Habra’s Children’s Museum. Its engaging setting (an old train depot), galleries, and interactive exhibits make learning fun for kids of all ages. In addition to its yearly art festival each Spring, the La Habra’s Children’s Museum offers ongoing programs in dance, music, and art.

Perhaps the best asset of the neighborhood is the close proximity to the riches of the area. Within easy driving distance of Lowell, residents can enjoy mountains, beaches, and most Los Angeles attractions. The city of La Habra itself offers plenty of outdoor recreation with its elaborate park system, perfect for families and children. It also has a yearly corn festival, which attracts visitors from miles around.

In its early days, the area was a grazing land for cattle ranchers, and La Habra was known as the “pass through the hills.” In later years, avocado farming took hold, and today its legacy is largely as a great community for working LA families.
