OC Register’s Best New Home Community 2018

North of the 241 toll road off Glenn Ranch Road, IronRidge in Lake Forest is a new gated community that highlights its proximity to nature and activities. With open space on two sides of the development, it offers quick access to trails such as Aliso Creek and Edison as well as several local and regional parks, including Lake Forest Sports Park, Etnies Skate Park and O’Neill Regional Park.

IronRidge includes five distinct neighborhoods: Brookhaven, Sagebluff, Copperleaf and Windstone, all developed by LandSea Homes, and Highmark by KB Home. All the neighborhoods are two-story, single-family homes, with the exception of Copperleaf, which offers three-story town homes coming in late 2018.

In the center of IronRidge is an expansive recreation center. Called the Ridge, it features a sports field, resort-style pool with cabanas, beach entry, spa and splash pad, an event lawn, clubhouse, playground and more.

A separate community park at IronRidge’s entrance features another sports field, sand volleyball court, tot lot, lawn area and a large dog park.
