San Tract, Buena Park CA
The biggest seller in west Buena Park, where every street starts with San and almost none of them run straight.
Updated September 14, 2026
The biggest seller in west Buena Park, and every street starts with San. Built 1954 to 1958, mostly 1955, at roughly four floor plans: three bedrooms near 1,040 square feet and four bedrooms near 1,340, no HOA. The streets wind instead of running on a grid, with cul de sacs everywhere, and people who do not live there get lost in it. Most have been added onto, so the median sale is now near 1,432 square feet.
CRMLS closings, trailing 24 months as of September 2026, from a five year record of 1,972 Buena Park sales. Updated monthly. See the whole city on the Buena Park buyer’s guide.

A drive through the neighborhood with me talking through what to look for. Coming soon.
What is the San Tract?
The San Tract sits in west Buena Park off Valley View Street, running north roughly between Crescent and La Palma Avenue, with Holder on its east edge. It is in the 90620 zip code. Every street in it carries a San prefix: San Alano, San Alto, San Bruno, San Capistrano, San Clemente, San Diego, San Hacienda, San Harco, San Haroldo, San Helice, San Hilario, San Juan, San Lazaro, San Lorenzo, San Marcos, San Marino, San Pablo, San Rolando, and San Rufo, plus stretches of Holder and Lee. That is also why you will hear it said out loud as the Sand Tract. The MLS spells it San Tract in 27 of 33 listings and the streets settle the question.
It was cow pasture and orange groves before the houses went in. Of the 33 San Tract sales in the first CRMLS export, 22 were built in 1955 and seven in 1954, with a handful trailing into the early 1960s. The homes originally sold for about $13,000.
The street pattern is the thing people remember. The streets wind, there are cul de sacs and horseshoe shaped blocks throughout, and it is dense. Two agents who know the neighborhood well, one of them raised in it, describe it the same way without prompting: it is not a grid, and people who do not live there get lost in it. One practical note that comes up on showings: the original garages here do not fit two full size cars.
The houses
As originally built, the three bedroom plans ran about 1,040 to 1,070 square feet and the four bedroom plans about 1,340 to 1,380. There are roughly four plans, and they read as more than that because the same plan was turned sideways on different lots.
The gap between those numbers and what sells today is the additions. Homes closing in the San Tract now run a median 1,432 square feet, with the largest in the record at 2,892. People who buy here build on rather than move.
What San Tract sells for
Over the trailing 24 months, 23 San Tract homes closed in CRMLS at a median $927,000, a median 1,432 square feet, $635 per square foot, and a median 11 days on market. Over the full five year record the San Tract is the volume leader of the six neighborhoods on the guide, with 78 closings at a median $877,500. The numbers on this page refresh monthly.
The San Tract is one of my two favorite neighborhoods in Buena Park, along with the General Tract. Very little traffic, a lot of cul de sacs, a lot of horseshoe shaped streets, very dense.
Some people honestly get lost when they are in it, so if you are not from the neighborhood, make sure you have your GPS on. But the homes are great.
