Foothill Ranch balances scenic views with city amenities
Foothill Ranch is a master-planned community in Lake Forest, ideal for those who enjoy proximity to outdoor fun but still want to remain connected to plenty of commercial amenities. It’s a balance that helps make this community so popular. "Even though it's surrounded by wilderness, it's still a very convenient place to live," says local Realtor Simone Paterno of Stark Team Real Estate. "There's a ton of shopping and dining right there, and it's surprisingly easy to get to Irvine."
A masterplanned community, Foothill Ranch is a well-manicured place to call home.

This park is connected to the even bigger Limestone Canyon Regional Park, which stretches 4,000 acres and, in addition to trails of its own, includes Limestone Canyon Cave, with underground passages to explore. If you’re looking for more of a casual outdoor excursion you can take the kids to the roughly 6-acre Borrego Park, where there’s a covered playground set, a basketball court, and a soccer field.
