Rossmoor is an unincorporated city covering a beautiful five square miles in northern Orange County. The community is bordered by the city of Seal Beach and the gated retirement community of Leisure World to the south, the city of Los Alamitos to the east and north, and the city of Long Beach to the west. During Rossmoor’s early days in the late 1950s, the entire community was developed as a collection of tract homes. Demand for housing in this beautiful and ideally located area continues to soar to this day. Many of the original houses are being replaced with custom-built homes primarily because of the generous lot sizes and outstanding amenities that this modern community provides.
As part of the Los Alamitos School District, Rossmoor is home to some of the best schools in Orange County. Five elementary schools serve the needs of local children, while older students attend award-winning Los Alamitos High School. Two neighborhood parks serve the recreational needs of Rossmoor’s approximately 10,000 residents. Residents of Rossmoor, in conjunction with the residents of Los Alamitos, participate in the many cultural and civic endeavors sponsored by the two communities. Thanks to its convenient location, Rossmoor is close to world-famous attractions such as Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. The neighborhood is also within proximity to Long Beach Airport, John Wayne Airport and Los Angeles International Airport, and to the 405, 605 and 22 freeways—a boon to the frequent traveler. As you drive along Rossmoor’s lovely tree-lined streets, you'll realize that this charming community has a charisma not to be found anywhere else within Orange County.
