Every area code, on the map

MLS Areas

An MLS area is the code an agent puts on a listing to say which part of town a home is in. Buyers see the code on every listing, and agents search by it, but no MLS publishes the boundaries as a map. This page lists every code in use across both counties, 478 in all (337 in Los Angeles County, 141 in Orange County), each with an outline on the map, the city it sits in, Census facts and the HOAs inside it.

How the outlines were made: 79 South Bay and Palos Verdes areas are drawn by hand from the MLS area map. Areas that match a city, a neighborhood or a master planned community use that boundary. Areas the MLS defines by streets (north of Firestone, east of Downey Avenue) are split along those streets. The remaining 81 areas only have a center point from the MLS, so they are a first pass marked approximate, and they get corrected as the association area maps are checked. Every page says which kind it is.
