The Huntington Landmark community is arguably on the best and most affordable 55+ adult communities in all of Orange County, California.  This neighborhood has a very active turnover with multiple rental listings throughout the year.  For example, the year of 2022 we had approximately 20 rental listings come on the market and then leased out as pictured below.  In 2021, this number was even higher with an approximate 24 rental listings that were leased.  When looking at this charge the "L" in the status section means "leased" with the leased price in the middle and the leased date at the far right.  For the most part, these will typically be 12 month leases with the tenant paying the first months rent, security deposit and security check before moving in.

The Surfcrest community offers a location that is considered one of the best in Huntington Beach as you are just a short walking distance to the sandy beach.  There a variety of reasons why residents really love living here which includes a secure gated community as well as association amenities like a community pool, spa and dedicated barbecue area.  These are considered multi-level townhouses so if you are looking for a one story home this is probably not the best place to look.  The townhouses are typically three levels of living space with attached garages on the lower level and living spaces on another level and then bedrooms on the next level.  For the most part, these rentals are for a 12 month lease with landlord paying for association dues which

Huntington Beach has a wide variety of properties which include some really great historic properties dating back to the early 1910's.  The large majority of these homes can be found near the Huntington Beach Pier area which is considered prime real estate in Huntington Beach.  We have some clients who are specifically looking to rent these older homes as they have a lot of charm to them and they do come up for lease from time to time.  There are a couple things to understand before renting a historic home in Huntington Beach and will be explained here.

First, for the most part all of these types of homes are traditionally rented out on a long term basis.  Normally this is a 12 month lease to start and then it goes month-to-month after that unless you

One of the more popular communities in Huntington Beach when looking for a rental property is the Seabridge community.  What makes this a little bit of a challenge is that there are two neighborhoods in Huntington Beach called Seabridge so it's important to know the differences before making a decision on where to rent a home.  The first one is located near the Downtown area of Huntington Beach is a gated community with a variety of condos located here.  Some of these include Seabridge Lakes, Seabridge Villas and Seabridge Townhomes.  I would say this is probably the more popular Seabridge community due to the variety of units that are located here with some offering lake views.  Plus the location being a short driving distance to the downtown area and

There are some neighborhoods in Huntington Beach where rentals rarely come on the market and when they do they tend to rent out very quickly.  This sure seems to be the case about the popular La Cuesta By The Sea community in Huntington Beach.  On average, we tend to see only 1 rental listing every year come on the market here with homes renting out on average of 30 days or less.  One of the reasons for it's popularity is the type of you can find here that often comes with at least two to three bedrooms with generous size three bedroom floor plans that can span over 1,500 square feet of living space.  What I love about these homes is that they often come with rooms that offer vaulted ceilings that give an illusion of extra space as well as an attached two

One of my favorite places to look for large rental properties is the Seacliff Club Series neighborhood.  First of all is located within a 24 hour guard gated community which is very impressive.  Security here is very strict so don't expect to go through this community unless you live here or a guest of one of the owners.  The properties located here are considered townhomes with multiple levels of living space.  You either love or hate having different levels as it does require a lot of steps going up and down between the different levels.  For the most part you have an attached two car garage located on the street level with a series of steps going up to the first level where you have the kitchen, living and dining room.  Up one more flight of steps and

One of the most affordable places to find long term rentals in the Huntington Beach area is the Villa Warner complex.  The location is near the cross streets of Edwards and Warner street that is ideally located approximately halfway been the beach and the 405 freeway. Rental prices are often found under $2,000 a month with the large majority of these being one bedroom units.  There are some 2 bedroom rentals that do come up on the market and tend to be closer to the $2,000 a month range while one bedroom units can often be found in the $1,700 to $1,900 price range.  All of these condos are individually owned so each property terms will be different.  For the most part these are 12 month leases that require a first months rent, security deposit and credit

One of the best places to find affordable rental prices is at the Shore Crest complex in Huntington Beach. We did a quick search to see what rental values have looked like in the past year and for the most part many of these rentals are listed below $2,000 a month which is an excellent value if you want to live by the beach.  Looking at previous listings in Shore Crest there have been leases for either one or two bedroom units.  What grabbed our attention in the last week was a newly listed one bedroom rental that is on the market for lease at $1,750 a month.  They are wanting a 12 month lease with an expected move-in date starting after 04/02/21,  As with most rentals in the area the first months rent, credit report and security deposit is required for

For those looking for a beach front rental in the Huntington Beach area it's important to understand the geography of Huntington Beach.  Pacific Coast Highway is the main street that runs north to south along side the ocean with very few homes located on the ocean side of the street.  The beach actually goes right up the highway which offers very few properties that are actually located on the sand.  There are a few exceptions to this rule.  First on the very north end of town you will find a section of beach front homes in the suburb called "Sunset Beach."  This is one of the oldest areas of Huntington Beach that offers single family homes directly on the sand.  These homes rarely come on the market for sale and for lease and typically sell or lease very
