Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood has lush landscaping and 9 different pools available to all residents, as well as gyms, playgrounds, tennis, and working lounges. Our shopping center is 150m close (we usually walk or ride bikes to get there) and has one large supermarket and one specialty market, plus restaurants and shops.
A landscaped 2km long linear park is at the edge of our community, and other smaller parks. State parks (like Crystal Cove with hiking from hills to the beach), beaches, shopping and Disneyland are all within 30 minutes drive from our home. Truly convenient
