Placentia

Known as the "All American City", Placentia means "delightful situation" in Latin. However, residents and even the local government, often lovingly refer to the city as P-Town. Sought after for its quiet communities, excellent schools, and close proximity to local freeways, many do find Placentia to be an excellent place to call home. Take a look at Placentia and don't miss Tri-City Park (great for walking, feeding ducks, and enjoying the summer concert series), the lovely, annual Heritage Day Parade (small town at its best), and even the private Alta Vista golf course (a popular choice for weddings and large events).
