Rossmoor is an unincorporated, five square mile area
consisting of over 3,400 homes situated on long, tree-lined streets in
Orange County, just five miles from the beach. Residents of Rossmoor, along
with residents of Los Alamitos, love their communities.
Built in 1957 as tract housing, many of the original Rossmoor houses are
being replaced with custom-built homes. Large lot sizes, the community's
convenient location to freeways and excellent schools make this a highly
desired location. There are five elementary schools and two neighborhood
parks over one acre in size each. High school students attend the award
winning Los Alamitos High School, an esteemed and well-regarded institution
known throughout the region. Los Alamitos High School has been named a
California Distinguished School three times.
