Santa Ana Heights, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Santa Ana Heights is a community in Orange County, California. Currently, the eastern part is located within the city limits of the City of Newport Beach while the western part is in an unincorporated area. The community is also surrounded by John Wayne Airport and Costa Mesa.

Santa Ana Heights is zoned for more moderate income families, which provides for more modest homes in Newport Beach. It is generally a residential area, with a variety of housing types to suit all families that live in the Santa Ana area. The name is referred to the small foothills that the area is set on.

The unincorporated part of Santa Ana Heights has been a subject of an annexation debate between Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. [1] Orange County found Santa Ana to be the most well equipped city to care for the community, but a vote in 2002 removed this as a possibility. It is currently included in the city of Costa Mesa's "sphere of influence", which is expected to change to Newport Beach's sphere of influence as the annexation process furthers. The community will be voting on the annexation in 2007, which is predicted to be a high majority ruling in favor of the annexation to Newport Beach.^{[citation needed]}
