The Alta Vista Community Association 

by Mikey and Steven Hall

The Alta Vista tract of single family detached homes lies in the Westridge neighborhood, within the city of Aliso Viejo . Alta Vista contains 70 homes. The community is not gated and has no pool or spa. Built by Lennar in late 1999 and early 2000, the Alta Vista lots average 4,400 square feet. Alta Vista was built in five phases and had a tax basis, at opening, of about 1.33 percent of the sales price. Alta Vista borders the Woodlands tract and lies between Oak View Drive, Westridge, and Wood Canyon Drive. A few miles to the west is the Pacific Ocean and the famous city of Laguna Beach.

Access to the 73 freeway is only a short drive away. While located in a rural setting, the Westridge communities are positioned within a short distance of the ocean and its resort towns; freeway arteries leading to major employment areas, and the shops, restaurants and amenities of Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach and Aliso Viejo.

The 73 freeway links up with the 405 freeway corridor and provides quick access to the financial centers of Fashion Island Newport Beach, the John Wayne airport area and South Coast Plaza. The 5 freeway links up with the Tustin employment centers and shopping centers.

The Alta Vista tract has seven different models of homes:

Plan One Basic (Model A) is a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath two level home with a 3 car garage. In this model the garage is two cars wide and one of spaces is tandem making for 3 car parking. Direct garage access is located through a service entrance near the guest bath. A fireplace has been placed in the great room which adjoins the living room. All of the bedrooms are located upstairs. The master bedroom has an attached bathroom suite and two walk-in closets. Lennar originally offer this plan with a formal dining room or optional den downstairs. An optional fifth bedroom (in the place of the tandem garage) was also offered. This model is approximately 2,289 square feet.

Plan One Alternate (Model B) is a 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath, two level home with a 2 car garage. Direct garage access is located through a service entrance in the entry hallway. This is a Plan One Basic except the tandem parking area has been turned into a bedroom and bath down. This model is approximately 2,450 square feet.

Plan Two Basic (Model C) is a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, two level home with a 3 car garage. The garage is two cars wide with a tandem third space. Direct garage access is through a service entrance near the powder room. The fireplace is located in the family room. As originally built the living room is open to the second level. The master bedroom has two walk-in closets and its own bathroom suite.

This model is approximately 2,379 square feet.
