Close to Garden Grove and Anaheim, the city of Stanton has greatly benefited from Orange County’s steady progress. Located in the northwestern borders of the county, Stanton has charmingly retained its small-town vibe, amidst the burgeoning population. Just 3.1 square miles, the city packs annual programs, great parks, excellent dining spaces, and exciting attractions within its small scope. Though the city is just a few minutes away from some of Orange County’s top attractions, chances are you’ll end up staying at one of its affordable but classy hotels, and dine in some of the most unique restaurants in town.
