Fairway Park, Cypress
Fairway Park is the quiet grid of 1960s single story homes on the north side of Cypress, bordered by the Navy Golf Course, where Tiger Woods learned the game as a kid. It is the kind of neighborhood where the streets are wide, the lots are around six thousand square feet, the schools are a few blocks away, and a backyard pool is common. Cypress is a small city of about fifty thousand people wedged between Los Angeles and Orange County job centers, and Fairway Park is its most settled, most consistent tract. I sold a home here in the summer of 2026 that went into escrow in seven days with multiple offers, so the demand is not theoretical.

The neighborhood
The tract was built in the mid 1960s as a planned neighborhood of single story ranch homes, and it has barely changed shape since. Streets like Ethel, Hanover, Newman, and Via Norte run in a simple grid with mature trees and deep driveways. The Navy Golf Course on the north edge is part of the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, so the land beyond the fence stays open, which keeps the neighborhood quiet and the sky big. Evergreen Park and Lexington Park are the local green spaces, and Cypress College is a few minutes east.
Schools, the reason many families come
Cypress runs a separate elementary district for kindergarten through sixth grade, and Fairway Park addresses go to A. E. Arnold or Margaret Landell depending on the street. From there students move to Lexington Junior High and Cypress High in the Anaheim Union High School District. The wildcard is Oxford Academy, a grade 7 to 12 magnet in Cypress that admits by application and testing and regularly ranks among the top public schools in California. Living in the district makes a student eligible to apply, not automatically enrolled, so families should plan for the application.
What the houses are like
Most homes are three or four bedrooms with two baths, between 1,500 and 2,100 square feet, with an attached two car garage. Original layouts have a formal living room in front and a family room off the kitchen, and a lot of owners have opened those up. Pools are common because the lots are flat and the climate is inland enough to use them. The home I sold on Ethel Street had been refreshed with new lighting, quartz counters, a saltwater pool and spa with a slide and grotto, solar under a power purchase agreement, and two EV chargers, which is a good picture of what a well kept Fairway Park house looks like today.
There is no homeowners association on the single family streets, so there are no dues and no architectural review beyond city permits. That is a real difference from many newer Orange County neighborhoods and it shows up in the monthly cost.
Who It Suits
- ◆Families who want a single story house, a yard, and public schools with a strong reputation
- ◆Buyers commuting in both directions, Orange County and Los Angeles, who need the 605 and 405 close
- ◆Anyone who wants a pool home without an HOA
Before You Buy
- ◆Ask whether solar is owned, leased, or under a power purchase agreement. Many homes here have panels and the terms transfer to the buyer.
- ◆Sixty year old homes mean original galvanized plumbing and older electrical panels in some houses. Check what has been replaced.
- ◆Pools add cost. Get the equipment, plaster, and safety features inspected separately.
- ◆If Oxford Academy is part of the plan, understand the application timeline in sixth grade.
- ◆Confirm the elementary assignment for the specific address. The tract splits between two schools.
