The theme of Placentia is community. There are dozens of local eateries that bring this town to life and there have been many recent city improvement projects that have truly uplifted the appearance of our town. Placentia hosts community-based events such as farmer's markets, concerts in the park, and a Heritage Parade. The streets are well-maintained and the neighborhoods are perfect to raise children in a healthy and safe environment.
Placenta is a wonderful city to live in. I love the parks, restaurants, and the area in general. Some things I would like to see change though, would be the amount of homeless in nearby parks, or in front of stores, or even the gunshot noises you hear at night. People want to be able to feel safe in their neighborhood at all times.
Placentia is a family-oriented, safe, beautiful city. The population is moderate, yet you don't feel like you're "sitting on top of each other". The landscape is nicely done and kept up regularly. Night life is almost non-existent, but also not far away. It's a wonderfully well-rounded city.
