Fantastic place to raise a family. Literally the best environment for a young child. Community water park, a huge assortment of clean well maintained safe parks throughout the community, several amazing clubhouses with pools, family bike trails, mountain bike trails, walking trails, many kids still playing together outside, family events running year round, concerts/movies in the park and friendly neighbors. Very safe expect for the usual petty crime “stuff”. There are all your standard local convieniences Grocery, Starbucks, cvs and your average chain store selection. The downside is not much in the way of variety for quality dining or interesting shops just your typical suburban “stuff”.
Ladera Ranch is a serene suburb populated in large part by young families. It's built for this demographic-if you have younger kids, there are playgrounds, skate parks, or waterparks every few blocks. There's also a preschool, an elementary school, and a middle school (with San Juan Hills High School and Saddleback College shortly up the road). If you aren't married and middle class with young children, you may feel a bit out of place but will still benefit from the safety and scenery.
Ladera Ranch is and will always be my hometown. I was born and raised her and have made unforgettable memories in this city. Although it is small, the family aspect is so tight. Everyone cares for each other and has fun together. The activities such as the concerts in the parks during summer really bring us together as a city.
