Property Management
Owning a rental in Orange requires balancing the allure of historic charm with the complexities of specialized maintenance. Whether you own a preserved craftsman in Old Towne, a mid-century Eichler in the Fairhaven tract, or an equestrian estate in Orange Park Acres, standard management often falls short. Good Life Property Management specializes in this diverse housing stock. We navigate the city’s strict Historic Preservation guidelines (ensuring repairs don’t violate code) and expertly screen tenants to distinguish between stable professionals and transient university traffic from nearby Chapman.

Overview
About Orange
Orange is a bustling university city in northern Orange County, California, with a population of over 139,000. Orange is an attractive city because of its active economy, excellent schools, and beautiful weather. A unique feature of Orange is the homes and buildings in the Old Towne District that were built before 1920. In the 1960s, Orange decided to preserve these houses while other cities were demolishing their historic houses.
The Old Towne Orange Historic District is on the National Register for Historic Places. It is a great place to spend a day shopping for antiques, trying a new restaurant, or attending one of their amazing events like Orange International Street Fair, Treats in the Streets Autumn Festival, or the Tree Lighting Ceremony and Candlelight Choir Procession. Orange boasts 22 parks with various amenities, the Hilbert Museum of California Art on the Chapman University campus, and the can’t-miss Orange County Zoo.
