Seal
Beach is the northernmost coastal city in Orange County California. It is bordered by Long
Beach (Los Angeles County) to the north, Huntington
Beach to the south, Garden Grove and Westminster to the east and Los Alamitos to the north. The population is about 26,000. The city is
home to the Seal
Beach Naval Weapons Station and it'
s wildlife refuge, a large Boeing facility, a charming downtown, the longest wooden pier on the west coast, and the "Leisure World" retirement community. Children attend schools in the Los Alamitos School District. Crime is relatively low and residents enjoy a "small town" atmosphere despite being at the crossroads of Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Many residents claim that Seal
Beach is "the best kept secret" in Southern California and that the quality of life there is unsurpassed. The residential property values tend to reflect that sentiment.
