Is your business relocating to Anaheim?
Celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2007, the City of Anaheim is one of the nation's premier municipalities and California's 10th most populous city. Located in Orange County, California, 28 miles southeast of Los Angeles, Anaheim covers 50 square miles with more than 342,000 residents and 2,177 employees. The municipal corporation's annual budget is $1.297 billion. Anaheim supports a thriving business community with companies such as Disneyland Resort, Kaiser Foundation Hospital, Northgate Gonzalez Markets and Hilton Anaheim. Successful sports franchises call Anaheim home, including Angels Baseball and Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim also boasts world-class meeting and entertainment venues with the Anaheim Convention Center, the largest on the west coast, Honda Center, The City National Grove of Anaheim, and Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Anaheim is ranked one of the safest cities in the nation and annually welcomes millions of visitors to the city, truly making it where the world comes to live, work and play.
Tourism is a considerable element of the city, especially Disneyland tourism. The city’s transient occupancy tax “puts money into city coffers exceeding $150 million a year” and this extra income “pays for many vital services including fire protection, police protection, first responders, and all the other amenities that are needed in a major city.”
A big perk of this sunny SoCal city is how well-connected it is for home buyers. Surrounded by five freeways (the 57, 5, 91, 22 and the 55) and sporting the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (a.k.a the ARTIC), a mecca for catching taxis, rail, buses, and other transportation services — it’s easy to get wherever you’re going.
