All in a day at Sun Valley

The smaller Lemmon Valley Park covers 10 acres and includes sports courts for tennis, basketball and soccer, a playground and hosts little league baseball at the baseball diamonds. The park also houses the Joe Mitchell Community Center, which residents can use for community meetings and private events.

Spanish-style stuccos gets a spotlight

Several housing styles can be found around Lemmon Valley, with Ladera Ranch featuring Spanish-inspired stucco homes that have multiple attached garages. Ranch-style layouts are another option, sit on smaller lots close to the curb. Spacious modern Craftsman homes are ideal for growing families, and traditional one- and two-story homes offer sprouting trees dotted around the yards.
