For those still deciding which Orange County neighborhood you would like to plant your roots in, I thought it would be helpful to do a quick tour of Rancho Santa Margarita with some highlights and city information.
Rancho Santa Margarita is one of Orange County's youngest cities, a master-planned community set among rolling hills, with a backdrop of the beautiful mountain range. It is home to Rancho Santa Margarita Lake, where you can fish, rent water toys such as paddle boats and water trikes, as well as the popular surrey bikes to cruise around the lake's 1.1 mile walking path. The lake is surrounded by homes, shopping, dining and is home to many entertaining events throughout the year.
The Beach Club/Swimming Lagoon is open through the Summer months and provides a safe, beach like experience for those with younger children. There is a snack shack for food and refreshments, 2 volleyball courts, BBQ pits, picnic tables, newly renovated restrooms and outdoor showers. The Fiesta Room is available to rent for events and birthday parties with a beautiful view of the lagoon, lake and mountains.
RSM, as the locals like to call it, has 4 pristine pools that are maintained by the local Association, SAMLARC. These pools are spread out throughout the community so all neighborhoods have a place to splash around during the warm months of the year. These pools include: Altisma Pool, Arroyo Vista Pool, Monte Vista Pool and Solana Pool.
Rancho Santa Margarita is part of the Saddleback Valley Unified School District and it's schools are California Top Distinguished schools. There are 6 public elementary schools to attend, depending on your neighborhood, 2 intermediate schools and 1 public high school that serves the community.
Tijeras Creek Golf Course is a premier golf course in Orange County, California. Hole number 16 was voted one of Orange County's best 18 holes by member of the Southern California PGA. The course was recently renovated and was supervised by renowned golf course architect Dick Bailey. Tijeras Creek Golf Course is managed by OB Sports Golf Management, a golf-oriented company that has a long history of success and has an unparalleled reputation as a premier operator of quality and award winning golf courses throughout the Western United States and Mexico.
Rancho Santa Margarita is conveniently located with shopping, dining, parks, entertainment, nature trails and regional parks. It is 15 minutes from the 5 Freeway, 15 minutes to The Shops at Mission Viejo (a major shopping mall) and about 25 minutes to John Wayne Airport.
I have a board on my Pinterest page that is full of community pictures and links for your convenience. Rancho Santa Margarita is a fun, energetic, family-oriented city that has so much to offer ... much more than this list will provide you.
