Best Tennis and Pickleball courts in Fullerton, Orange County for 2026

The community is nice, surrounded by golf courses, etc. Security is ok, although Patrol One is not really security and don't necessarily respond (directly) to burglaries, etc. They are more of a parking enforcement company. But they do their job as they were hired so that's all fine. I am not a retiree but don't really have any issues with the older folks. Some folks are definitely a bit over-vigilant with regards to enforcement of HOA rules(law of the land) but generally people are nice. There's an older gentleman who walks his dog every morning and waves at every car that drives by. I love that. The community landscape is nice and well maintained, but generally, the amenities appear fairly old and not very upgraded. If it ain't broke, why fix it? The one thing I have a major problem with is the HOA fee. $400/month. Are we paying this much just for landscaping and security? Maybe the property mgmt company is expensive? This is a higher fee than for the homes across the street by the Fullerton Sports Complex. And they also use Patrol One. Our HOA fee is actually a higher than a lot of very nice places in California. My real gripe is that this high HOA deters a lot of buyers so less bids/offers = lower sale price. Even if you Zillow this area, you see that across the street, the homes sell at a much higher price. Yes, they may be newer and have more square footage but I think even accounting for all that, they sell at higher value. It has at least in some part due to a lower HOA fee there. I think if the HOA were spending the funds to significantly improve the amenities, etc to attract more buyers, maybe that could help offset the depressed sale price but I don't think that this is how things are run here. Zillow all around the area and you can see comparable homes are selling at much higher prices. Fairway Village homes should be worth more but in some ways could be artificially limited due to the high HOA. Aside from that HOA fee issue, it's very peaceful, serene, quiet, safe, and clean. But the HOA fee is still high despite all that.
