Washington Square is a Santa Ana recognized neighborhood in the northwest of the city, represented by the Washington Square Neighborhood Association. It is not a historic district, but older homes can be individually registered, and detached garages and alleys shape the work.
Washington Square is one of the roughly 65 neighborhood areas the City of Santa Ana recognizes, in the northwest part of the city, represented by the Washington Square Neighborhood Association, a registered nonprofit. It is not on the National Register and is not one of Santa Ana's designated historic districts, so street-visible changes do not need a district Certificate of Appropriateness.
