Residential is the majority of this work, and Santa Ana's six delivering ZIPs each present a different doorstep. 92706 on the north-west side holds Floral Park, one of the largest historic residential districts in Southern California, where deep front porches and a Craftsman street grid make an early delivery easy to hide until evening, alongside Washington Square and the streets around Santa Ana College. 92701 covers downtown, French Park and Wilshire Square, where the same porch geometry repeats on smaller lots near the Artists Village and Calle Cuatro. 92703 and 92704 run west and southwest off Harbor Boulevard, Westminster Avenue and Edinger toward the Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa lines — dense, largely courtyard-apartment and duplex stock, which means the unit letter, a callbox code and a mobile number in the delivery notes are what decide whether the surprise works. 92707 is the south end: Delhi, the streets around Centennial Park, and the MacArthur Boulevard and Sandpointe office corridor. 92705 runs east from the City Place development and North Grand Avenue up into the unincorporated hills, where a gate code is often mandatory.
Hotel drops are the other half. Inside the city, the cluster sits on the airport side: the DoubleTree by Hilton on East MacArthur Boulevard in 92707, the Courtyard at 8 MacArthur Place, and the Embassy Suites on East Dyer Road in 92705 — all minutes from John Wayne Airport, which carries a Santa Ana mailing address, and all sensible for out-of-town couples or for a local pair who want a night away without a drive. A mile or two southwest, just over the Costa Mesa line, the Westin South Coast Plaza and Avenue of the Arts sit beside South Coast Plaza and Segerstrom Center for the Arts, which is where a concert-and-dinner anniversary usually ends up. For milestone years, couples tend to go coastal — the Newport Beach and Newport Coast resorts, including Balboa Bay Resort on West Coast Highway and the Resort at Pelican Hill above Crystal Cove — and the studios in the southern half of the ring, Magnolia Florist CA in Fountain Valley and Hbsecret Garden Florist in Huntington Beach, are the closer origins for those addresses. Anaheim's resort-district hotels near Disneyland are the north-side equivalent for families combining an anniversary with a weekend.
