The American Dream Within Reach In OC

So what if these condos are on the smallish side (between 650 and 1,000 square feet), they're new homes in Orange County for less than $500,000, and you can walk to the ballpark and Arrowhead Pond.

A firefighter quoted in today's Los Angeles Times says he got his place for $379,000:
The granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and massive saltwater swimming pool had her intrigued. And when Judy Williams saw the $469,000 sales price and the convenience of being able to pop downstairs for a margarita or stroll across the street to an Angels' baseball game, city life started looking a lot better than suburbia.

Anaheim firefighter Mike Houghton, 24, will be one of those twentysomethings. Houghton, who lives with his parents in Yorba Linda, bought a one-bedroom overlooking one of the complex's four courtyards for $379,000.

"I'll be able to jog to my fire station," he said.
