Welcome to one of the most informative websites available for Ladera Ranch Real Estate. The history of Ladera Ranch and the cities that were created from it actually date back to 1882 and has continued over time as a family tradition built on a legacy of ranching. Ladera Ranch is an unincorporated planned community located in south Orange County California just outside the city limits of San Juan Capistrano, Rancho Santa Margarita and Mission Viejo.
The community has several features that differentiate it from most others. For example, many traffic speed-reducing measures were put into use. Roundabouts, for example, are commonplace on smaller intersections. Narrow street widths are characteristics of Ladera Ranch's small residential streets. Landscaped street medians are common, even on two-lane collector streets like O'Neill and Sienna Parkways.
Ladera Ranch consists of aprox 6,745 homes and is considered by many to be one of the most Disneyland like sought after living areas ever built. Children were the most important ingredient considered when this innovative master planned community was designed in 1999. Locals like to say that one third of the residents are children. Ladera Ranch is comprised of nine separate villages with multiple neighborhoods per village. Ladera Ranch homes are amenity-rich with parks, pools, village clubs and more threading through the community. It's a place where people of all ages are out and about enjoying today and planning more fun for tomorrow and beyond. Did you know that Ladera Ranch celebrated it's very first decade on July 4th 2010? Here is a look at Ladera through the years.
The history of Ladera Ranch and the other cities that were created from that history actually goes back over 125 years ago when 2 partners bought what they thought was "the greatest of all California "Ranchos". Ladera Ranch was actually created from a long family tradition.

Interestingly enough, Ladera Ranch is one of the most misconceived areas in all of Orange County. Many people think homes in Ladera Ranch are 10 miles or more to the ocean. Absolutely not true.

Believe it or not, the 5 freeway is less than 2 miles away. Although it's adjacent to Mission Viejo, Ladera Ranch enjoys it's own 92694 zip code.

There is also an awesome lighted skatepark, an incredible fully functional waterpark with beach style wading and bell tower, tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer fields, a wagsdale park strictly for dogs, over 16 local and neighborhood parks throughout the villages and neighborhoods along with miles upon miles of hiking and biking trails.
Quality education is one of the core values that guides the vision for the community of Ladera Ranch, so that today there are a variety of new campuses, both public and private within the community. Three elementary schools, a middle school, and public library offer Ladera Ranch residents near-the-neighborhood access to superb learning technology. The public schools are under the auspices of the highly acclaimed Capistrano Unified School District which is part of the Orange County Department of Education. Young learners can partake of several pre-school and daycare choices just moments from home. A private school campus also operates within Ladera Ranch, offering families the kind of choices they value. The many school and early education campuses are located to make coming and going easy, and several are adjacent to parks.
