209 S Birch Street B

Tucked just south of downtown Santa Ana, this one-bedroom, one-bath home offers something most rentals at this price don't — a detached garage of your own, for parking or the kind of storage that actually comes in handy. Washer and dryer hookups mean laundry never has to leave home, and with water and sewer covered by the landlord, that's two fewer bills to think about each month. The surrounding area adds a lot to this address. Downtown Santa Ana and the Artists Village are just up the road, where galleries, restaurants, and weekend events keep things lively, and Santa Ana College sits a few minutes north. Groceries and everyday errands are close at hand near Downtown Plaza and East 1st Street. When you feel like getting out, the Bowers Museum, Discovery Cube, and the Santa Ana Zoo are each a short drive — and the 5, 55, and 22 put the rest of Orange County within easy reach.
