Lifestyle is a reflection of attitudes, values and choices.  The Ladera Ranch lifestyle reflects a little bit of Orange County innovation, a little bit of the natural beauty of the rugged landscape, and a whole lot of the heart and soul of our community neighbors who call Ladera Ranch home. There is much to do in and around Ladera Ranch/San Juan Capistrano. Take a trip back in time with a walk through Mission San Juan Capistrano. Try out the self-guided walking tour of San Juan's historic down town and Los Rios Historic District. Shop and dine in the many unique shops and restaurants throughout the area.  Enjoy the Pacific Ocean with a visit to the Dana Point Harbor, San Clemente Pier, or one of the beautiful beaches that line south Orange County. The climate, history, attractions, and amenities of the area will truly allow you to go back in time. With 1600 acres of surrounding open space, miles of trails, a myriad of active recreation opportunities, and a new lease on life, Ladera Ranch offers you every chance to get out and enjoy!  Ladera Ranch Community Services (LARCS) keeps plenty of community events and activities on your calendar.  If you prefer to get outside and away from it all, enjoy the wide open spaces of Ladera Ranch parks, botanicals and trails.
