Understand
This is a mixed of residential and business area. As it is the location of regional offices for companies such as United Health, Siemens, Yamaha and Mitsubishi Motor Sales, and the headquarters of Vans, there are a number of reasonable hotels and food chains in the area. Prices on the weekend tend to be cheaper that those near the amusement parks in Buena Park and Anaheim.
