What to Know About Lake Forest

Lake Forest was known as El Toro until the city incorporated in 1991. It combines older neighborhoods from the El Toro era with newer master-planned areas like Foothill Ranch, Portola Hills and Baker Ranch.

The older El Toro-era neighborhoods are where most Lake Forest flips happen: 1960s and 1970s homes with original kitchens, baths and systems. We finance purchase and rehab together, sized on after-repair value.
