The Life Option

The town of Rancho Santa Margarita gives home and apartment hunters a chance at the healthiest life their housing dollar can buy. I call it the Life Option, because recreation was designed into Rancho Santa Margarita’s basic plan from the beginning and in a big way. Under the plan, over half of the towns 5,000 acres are devoted to open space and a network of recreational facilities which integrate residential neighborhoods. These facilities are designed to make available to residents an exceptional array of activities. Walk around the lake, or bike on some of the most majestic bike trails, or swim in the pools which are throughout the community. And around the town lies a paradise of parklands, baseball- soccer fields or tennis- basketball courts. Taken together, they comprise of marvelous conspiracy of God and man to keep Ranch Santa Margarita’s residents living to the fullest.
