The TenantBase Tour Guide | Orange

A local's guide to Orange, CA for businesses considering office space in the area, from the historic Orange Circle to current staff-recommended spots.

Welcome to the latest edition of our TenantBase Tour Guide series, for startups and businesses looking to set up shop in our favorite cities. This week's city is Orange County's first: the city of Orange.

As the first city in Orange County, Orange was immensely important to the development of the large and modern county we see today. The city continues to play a crucial role through its vibrant public plaza, modern office developments, and charming residencies. The diverse economy within the town allows a variety of different industries to prosper.

Orange is the only city in the region planned around a plaza, and boasts many historical sites. The Orange Circle, the Outlets, and the regional park are just a few attractions this quaint town offers to explore. The city is home to over 140,000 residents and is mainly an urban county. Chapman University also plays a large role in this historic region, with charming retail stores and restaurants in the surrounding area creating a quaint college town atmosphere.
