Westminster Overview

Ideally located in the northern tier of Orange County, Westminster is a proud city with a long heritage. Recent winner of the All-American City Award and offering much in the way of nearby amenities, Westminster apartments are an excellent option for anyone considering a move to sunny California.

What is the history of Westminster?

Founded in the late 1800s, Westminster was officially incorporated into Orange County in 1957. Fruit harvesting was an initial large portion of the local economy, and in the 1980s the city was the site of a large influx of Vietnamese refugees. Unsurprisingly, this local culture continues to flourish today, easily evident in the local food and crafts.

How is the weather in Westminster?

Most of the year is dominated by daytime temperatures in the upper 70s and night time lows in the 50s. That famous California sunshine is a constant, and snow is a rarity, with most 'winters' quite mild indeed.

How do I get around town?

Most residents of Westminster apartments rely on a personal car or truck for daily transportation, although some bus service can be found in the city. Rail is in less supply, and while taxis and even bicycling are both popular, nearby larger cities are home to most of the air travel options.

What is the Westminster commute like?

Interstate 405 is the most used roadway in the city, and Highway 22 cuts across the northern portion of Westminster as well. While Huntington and Long Beach are both reached with relative ease, those commuting to the greater Los Angeles job market can expect a lengthy and traffic-laden daily drive.

What are the local media outlets?

Print media is highlighted by the 'Orange County Register', and the 'LA Times' is in wide circulation throughout the city as well. Those living in Westminster rentals can expect most of the typical broadcasting options to be at their fingertips, including NBC and CBS, while radio is a pleasing mix of talk, classic rock, modern jazz and soft hits.

Why live in Westminster, CA?

Home to a number of lauded schools as well as offering much in the way of exciting cultural immersion opportunities, Westminster apartments are a great place to call home. From popular local eateries to eclectic art galleries, public parks to relaxed picnic areas, this is one charming west coast destination that truly seems to have it all.

What Westminster landmarks should I see?

Spend some moments in quiet introspection at the Vietnam Memorial, or or stroll the scenic beauty of the Miles Square Regional Park, both just a stone's throw from many apartments in Westminster. City Hall is a must-see for fans of architecture, as are the numerous Asian gardens that can found around town.

What is there to do around Westminster?

Grab the kids and head to Atlantis Play Center, or spend the day bird watching at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, both an easy commute from most Westminster rentals. Mai's Kitchen presents traditional Asian-inspired cuisine and is a big hit with the locals, while the Lazy Dog is an excellent place to raise a pint and toast to good friends.

Any annual festivals or Westminster events to know?

The Asian Garden Flower Festival is a big hit with fans of all things floral, and the Orange County Chocolate Fest is a lip-smacking good time. The Pacific Islander Festival is yet another cultural event held every year, complete with live music and plenty of crafts on display. July 4th is likewise a joyous affair, highlighted by an annual fireworks display.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Head north to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, or swing down the coast to the seafood and sandy beaches of San Diego, both easy escapes from numerous Westminster apartments. Las Vegas is a gambling paradise and an easy drive for a weekend getaway, while the hiking and camping of Eugene, Oregon are as good as it gets for nature lovers.

Where is the best place to move in Westminster?

Whether you are on the hunt for a one-bedroom unit offering pet-friendly policies and private parking close to the onramp of the interstate, or need a family rental complete with onsite pool and playground equipment, we are optimistic that the ideal California apartment is out there waiting for you. So what are you waiting for? Start your search for the perfect new Westminster rental today, and discover what life on the west coast is truly all about! Happy hunting!
