Apartments for Rent near The Colony, Anaheim, CA

Disney-adjacent living offers shuttle access to theme parks but inflates summer rental prices. Renters contend with nightly fireworks noise and tourist crowds overwhelming Katella Avenue parking. Older 1960s apartments retain retro charm but lack modern insulation.

Elevated views define Anaheim Hills, where Orange County's eastern community offers spectacular panoramas from its hillside position above the LA basin. The district features larger rental properties with generous outdoor spaces capitalizing on Southern California's perfect climate, while nearby shopping centers provide upscale amenities without requiring trips to more congested areas. Though requiring vehicle ownership, many residents find the quieter atmosphere, significantly more living space, and natural surroundings worth this minor inconvenience compared to more centrally-located Orange County options lacking similar elevation advantages creating both cooler temperatures and reduced noise pollution increasingly valued in densely developed Southern California.

Established character defines East Anaheim, where this family-oriented neighborhood offers more space than areas closer to Disneyland. Rental homes typically feature larger yards and more parking than similarly priced properties in central or western districts. The neighborhood provides excellent access to both Angel Stadium and the developing Anaheim Packing District, though SR-91 traffic can create noise considerations for properties nearest the freeway.
