Homes
The neighborhood is carved out of Orange County hills, so sidewalks and roads offer views up slopes to where houses sit on landscaped lawns. Mature trees, from pines and palms to crape myrtles and sweetgums, shade the swells and valleys of the neighborhood. The neighborhood is about 30 years old, and most homes are Modern Traditional in style. “Flintridge Village has the majority of the larger homes, so it’s appealing to bigger families,” says Amy Sims, a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Commercial Realtor familiar with Ladera Ranch communities. Prices start at $1.4 million and go up to $2.7 million. Sims says that for every purchase made in Ladera Ranch, buyers will be charged a Ladera Ranch enhancement fee of a quarter of 1% of the purchase price. Residents have also been paying a special property tax called a Mello-Roos. That tax, which was used to fund infrastructure projects, is expected to expire soon, which will be a relief for homeowners.
Flintridge Village features modern traditional homes with varying designs and layout.
Many homes in Flintridge Village have elaborate landscaping and eye-catching architecture.

Parks are right there, which is nice for families.” With three parks in the neighborhood, most residents are within walking distance of public green space. Toddler Town is a playground designed for young children below the age of five. Wagsdale Dog Park offers hydration stations, benches and shade to residents and their dogs. Traditional amenities like a playground, grills and picnic benches can be found at Hilltop Park, along with views of the valley below. For those who would like a closer look at the surrounding landscape, Yukon Riley Botanica Trail weaves through the neighborhood.
