Lax living in Las Flores
In the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains in Rancho Santa Margarita lies the master-planned community of Las Flores. “It’s very clean, fairly new and very safe, as well,” says Audra Pimatukarnta, a local librarian at the Orange County Library – Rancho Santa Margarita Branch. This unincorporated suburb in South Orange County mainly attracts families and features many resort-like amenities. Las Flores consists of 15 neighborhoods, three recreational spaces with patios, a pool, sports courts and over 1,600 homes. “It’s really thriving right now for people that want to live in a calm and peaceful environment with close access to North Orange County for work,” Pimatukarnta says. Properties have nearby trails and striking Saddleback Valley views that offer a sense of privacy and seclusion from other parts of Trabuco Canyon. Las Flores has a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, which is significantly lower than the national average of 4.

Traditional Spanish architecture in Las Flores
Many Las Flores properties were built from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, and sizes range from compact condos to large single-family homes. Two-bedroom houses can start around $650,000, and five-bedroom homes can climb up to about $2 million.
