Want to introduce you to the community of Stoneridge in Mission Viejo, CA. It sits on a high crest with views for miles around. To the west it looks over the valley, with some distance ocean views. To the east, you see the Saddleback Mountains with a lush valley and preserved wilderness parks in between. These were the last homes to be built within the city limits.
It has a 24 hr guard gated entrance, walking and hiking trails that can take you 10 miles from home. Most streets within the community are single load streets and all the slopes are maintained by the association. Houses range in size from 2,400 sqft. to over 4,000 sq.ft. and are 2 to 3 levels.
