About as old as this century,
this 4,000-acre master-planned community is located
east of Mission Viejo along Antonio Parkway. It
is built on portions of the O'Neill, Avery, &
Moiso family's 23,000-acre Rancho Mission Viejo
cattle ranch which is the largest remaining working
ranch in Orange County.
To create a sense of community,
Ladera Ranch villages are broken into districts
which are then broken into individual neighborhoods.
Miles-long Ladera Ranch Trail connects the entire
community, as well as much of the 1,600 acres
of open space.
