About this property
Top floor end unit living in Pheasant Creek, one of Lake Forest’s most parklike communities. Mature trees, flowing streams, and a large pond set the tone the moment you arrive, and the Aliso Creek Trail sits right across the street. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home offers a layout that’s hard to find in a condo. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom and built in closets, giving you two private suites. Use the second as a guest retreat, a home office with its own bath, or a comfortable setup for shared living. Being on the top floor at the end of the building means no one above you, fewer shared walls, and a quieter, more private feel. Large sliders fill the living room with natural light and open to an expansive balcony made for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. Laundry is right off the balcony, and the dining area flows naturally from the living space, making everyday living and hosting easy. A one car garage adds secure parking and storage, plus you get an additional reserved space. Pheasant Creek feels more like a park than a condo complex. Residents enjoy multiple pools and spas, tennis and basketball courts, and beautifully landscaped grounds throughout. HOA dues cover water, gas, and trash, so those are bills you won’t be paying separately. Located in the Saddleback Valley Unified School District, minutes from shopping and dining, with El Toro Road and Santa Margarita Parkway putting the 241 and the 5 within easy reach.

Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
