City of La Habra

Love this small city everyone knows everyone it’s a very knit family like community! Very safe and everything is close by! Highly recommend to live here!

I grew up here, I left here twice, and I’m stuck here again (temporarily).
La Habra is my hometown (thus it gets 2 stars, and not 1), and being from La Habra, I have always loved to make fun of our dear neighbor, Whittier, but the sad truth is that even Whittier is far, far better than this city that time and freeways don’t give half a shit about.
Do you have an actual career in LA, Irvine, Santa Ana or one of the major employment epicenters of SoCal? Don’t move here for any reason whatsoever, unless your twisted notion of fun is chugging along Beach, Imperial, Lambert or any of the other civic arteries that are nearly as clogged as our former mayor’s until you reach the 60, the 91, the 5 or the 57 to sit on those freeways.
Do you like being able to park your car in front of your own home? On your own street? In front of your own property that you pay taxes on? TOO BAD La Habra residents! You have to pay our lovely city for a sticker that allows you to park in front of your own home! This isn’t Santa Monica or San Francisco or some other traffic-​choked municipality that issues resident stickers to help control parking allotments, this is La Freakin’ Habra, and this law is BULLSHIT. So if you go visit a friend (or a bar) in La Habra and you park on the street, and you have the common sense to not drive home after you’ve drank too much or you just forget to move your car, you can expect a ticket on your windshield when you return.
Oh, and don’t expect too much nightlife from this cosmopolitan gem of North OC, unless your idea of a good time is smoking indoors at The Squires Inn or getting long stares from 60-​year-​old ex-​cons with neck tattoos at Hedz or Tales.
Do you want to have a yard/​garage sale one day because you have a bunch of junk in your trunk (or your garage) and you want to get rid of it and make a little extra cash? HAHAHA LA HABRA, you can’t even do that unless it’s the second weekend of the month! If you try to sell your old stained, ripped Shaq jersey and some Billabong sweatshirts on your lawn or driveway, the city will pull up in a truck and threaten to ticket you!
La Habra is a culinary desert, with good food here, good food there, and a whole lot of mediocre, overrated (*cough*cough* El Cholo) cuisine and crappy fast food all over it. Cat and the Custard Cup is outstanding though, so credit where credit is due.
If there is another SoCal city that time has forsaken in such an ugly, outdated, depressing manner (without going to the IE) I have yet to see it.
So remember, the next time you’re in La Habra, bring a snack, drive fast and watch out for those insane La Habra High School football supporters that will kick your ass or run you off the road if you say anything bad about Frank Mazzotta or the Highlanders.

Boom baby 7:19am. Not to shabby love this city and especially when the cops are around.

A quiet residential community, it is conveniently located within an hour’s drive of many beaches, mountain, and desert recreation areas. It’s a 25 – 30 minute drive from Disneyland ams Knotts. It has a population of around 62,000. It includes 20 parks, known for its famous Children’s Museum. It also boasts a Community Theater, Tennis Center, and diverse Community Center. lived in La Habra for 9 years. My husband and I love it. My husband especially loves it and more than I do. We love it here because it’s not really a open city so to speak. It’s set against the hills and Beach Blvd ends here. So it’s a lower traffic city because people can’t drive through it as easily. It’s smaller and diverse.

This city is very diverse. Which is the main reason why I like it. Of course like any city it has it’s ugly parts but other than that it’s very beautiful. It’s a smooth drive and has many places to go eat. Ranging from Mexican food to sea food. Which are reasonably-​priced and very yummy!

Unlike the previously written review I don’t see anything wrong with a city heavily populated with minorities. That’s what America is all about.. . Different types of people coming together.
This city has tons of local businesses. Aside from having two Walmarts, Target, Costco, Sam’s Club, and Home Depot; The small businesses do very well. There are several of little gems around the city great salons, yoga, bootcamps, restaurants, as well as auto service and plumbing. You got a problem? There is a huge chance your neighbor has a business that can help you out.
The fact that La Habra is so tiny is also great, everyone knows your name, lots of friendly faces, great service. La Habra is one of the few cities that don’t have a freeway touching it either, no smog over here! (well not as much). There is so much life happening in this small town I can’t fathom why anyone would say otherwise.
Review: If you find yourself on Imperial Hwy or Whittier Blvd head East and stop by and check it out for yourself.
