Ladera Ranch - A Rewarding Hometown Experience

One of the newest planned communities in Orange County, Ladera Ranch is a rich blending of villages, neighborhoods, parks, recreation venues, schools and businesses combined with unique attitude toward lifestyle and community.  With the first homes available in July of 1999, the architecture varies from Arts and Crafts, influences of early Americana and California Revival while housing choices run the gamut from apartments, condos, single famile residences to active adult residences and dramatic estate homes in the guard-gated Covenant Hills.  Residential streets are purposley narrow to reduce speeds while the thoroughfares feature round-abouts, popular in European villages, to keep traffic flowing while reducing accidents.

Recreation opportunities abound.  At the 16 parks, residents can enjoy tennis, swimming, basketball, soccer and baseball as well as romp through play areas, picnics sites with barbeques and even a dog park.  Five club houses throughout the city are perfect for weddings and special events or just sitting and enjoying the beautiful Southern California climate.  Hiking trails in Ladera Ranch will give you the opportunity to explore the surrounding terrain whether you are a beginner just getting your "legs" or an experienced hiker.

For the youth of the community, school choices range from public elementary and middle schools (served by the Capistrano Unified School District), private schools to several pre-schools for the little learners.  Community services include common area maintainence, public library, places of worship and The Ladera Ranch Community Services (LARCS), a non-profit, public organization that promotes and supports "the experience of Ladera Ranch community life."  LARCS is chartered to host community-oriented activities centered around five major lifestyle "pillars"; Telecommunication/Technology, Educational Excellence, Environmental Awareness, Events/Clubs/Sports and Health/Wellness.
