Lake
Forest Real Estate and Homes
Originally
known as El Toro, Lake Forest is a city with many
trees and parks and a beautiful lake. The Lake
Forest real estate community was chosen as the
name for the area in 1991.
It began, as did most of Orange County, as
agricultural land.
The Lake Forest real estate market has expanded by
including areas such as Foothill Ranch and Portola
Hills.

| So, the history of
Lake Forest real estate must take into consideration the
history of El Toro. El Toro was a stagecoach stop
between San Diego and Los Angeles in the 1800s.
After WW II, the El Toro Marine Base led to
residential and commercial growth and had a big impact on
the Lake Forest real estate market.
Of course now, the Marine base is closed and this had
an even bigger impact on the Lake Forest real estate market.
Today,
the Lake Forest real estate market includes over 57,000
residents. To preserve its past, Lake Forest established
Heritage Hill, an historical park that is home to Serrano
Adobe built in the late 1880s.
Foothill Ranch was annexed and
became part of the Lake Forest real estate market,
California in 2000. As
such, it is one of South Orange County’s newest
master-planned communities.
The Foothill Ranch real estate market is definitely
enhanced by the tranquility and scenic wilderness in the
area along with its proximity to some of Orange County’s
premier entertainment, education and retail centers.
The community of Foothill Ranch is located near the
Santa Ana and the San Diego freeways and is a unique balance
of residential, business and open spaces.
