There are several things that lift this Orange studio apartment above its peers. The elegant mid-century furnishings dotted throughout the space bring a touch of class, and the grey colour palette feels particularly en vogue. Come the summer months, there's a private balcony space surrounded by greenery where you can sit out and soak up the glorious Californian sunshine. But, perhaps best of all, there are communal facilities galore in the building, from a glistening swimming pool and hot tub to shared barbecue grills and lounge areas with plenty of space to knuckle down and work. Oh, and a well-equipped gym, too. While there's enough at the address to keep you distracted, there's also plenty to offer in the local neighbourhood. Highlights include the magic of Disneyland only ten minutes by car, sprawling Oak Canyon Park reachable in twenty, and the OC's surfside cities, all no more than twenty-five minutes away.
