City - Lake Forest

Lake Forest, set in Orange County, combines suburban living with natural surroundings. The city earned its name from two man-made lakes and eucalyptus groves planted in the early 1900s. The rental market reflects current trends, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $2,493 per month and two-bedroom units at $3,147. Residents enjoy access to the Lake Forest Beach and Tennis Club and Sun and Sail Club, which offer swimming pools, tennis courts, and community spaces.

The 86.2-acre Sports Park anchors the city's recreational offerings, complemented by Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park's hiking trails and natural terrain. The area features notable landmarks like Saddleback Church and Heritage Hill Historical Park, where visitors can explore the 1863 Jose Serrano Adobe and other preserved structures showcasing early California history. The etnies Skatepark, North America's largest public skating facility, adds to Lake Forest's recreational appeal.
