Ladera Ranch is an unincorporated, 4,000 acre master-planned community located to the east of Mission Viejo along Antonio parkway next to the largest remaining working cattle ranch in Orange County. As a newly developed area, the Ladera Ranch real estate market is made up of new single-family homes, condos, two and three story town homes and rentals. To create a sense of community, Ladera Ranch villages are divided into districts, which are then broken into individual neighborhoods.   

Miles-long Ladera Ranch Trail connects the entire community as well as much of the acres of open space. Ladera Ranch real estate is enhanced by some of its features, which differentiate it from most others. For example, many traffic calming measures were put into use such as roundabouts, narrow street widths and landscaped street medians. Ladera Ranch is served by Capistrano Valley Unified School District and Saddleback College. A branch of the Orange County Publish Library is located. 

Ladera, Spanish for hillside, is situated on the rolling grazing land of the Mission Viejo Ranch against a backdrop of awe inspiring mountains. It is the largest of Orange County’s new planned communities and appeals to a relatively young, well educated, upscale market. As Orange County continues to grow and its streets and freeways fill with traffic, residents look for real estate opportunities such as Ladera Ranch where they have the ability to get away from it all and live close to nature. The mountain and valley views from the Ladera Ranch area are truly spectacular
