    Serrano Highlands

    What it’s like to live in Serrano Highlands

    Hillside prestige defines Serrano Highlands, where this distinctive Lake Forest neighborhood offers panoramic views from its elevated position in the Saddleback foothills. Though primarily owner-occupied, rental opportunities occasionally appear in this distinguished district with dramatic mountain backdrops. While the area offers exceptional scenic beauty and upscale surroundings, the premium location comes with correspondingly high rental rates and limited inventory creating competitive application processes. Perfect for professionals seeking sophisticated surroundings who can justify premium rates for prestige addresses and spectacular views, particularly those connected to south Orange County employers seeking luxury rental options beyond typical apartment communities despite limited availability.
