An Orange County master-planned community
Ladera Ranch is not just selling homes—it is selling a lifestyle, and an upscale one at that. Developers broke ground in the 1990s with the goal of distilling the best of small-town living in a master-planned community. The Orange County community enjoys scenic views of the Saddleback foothills and proximity to Capistrano Beach. “Buyers are drawn in by the feeling of a small town and the amenities within the community,” says Ashley Blair, community services director for Ladera Ranch Community Services. Ladera Ranch Maintenance Corporation, LARMAC, provides community services through a monthly fee.

Outdoor living in Ladera Ranch
Hiking and biking trails weave through the community and up bordering hills. “Each neighborhood has a pool or plunge within walking distance,” Blair says. “They’re also close to parks with playgrounds, a skate park, a water park and a dog park.” Ladera Ranch residents can visit any of the private-access parks and pools. Community pools are heated and can be enjoyed most of the year. Mountain biking and hiking enthusiasts can explore the trails, which Blair says are some of the best in the area. One trail goes 10 miles to Doheny Beach, where visitors can surf, fish and soak up the sun.
