The Canyon View Estates Community Association 

by Mikey and Steven Hall

The Canyon View tract of single family detached homes lies in the Westridge neighborhood, within the city of Aliso Viejo . Canyon View contains 76 homes. The community is gated and has no pool or spa. Canyon View was originally built in six phases by Shea Homes. It is located off Crimson Canyon and Oak View 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.
