Glenwood Village

Glenwood Village covers 13.9 acres and holds 200 addresses across seven mapped parcels. Thirteen streets run inside it, the sixth highest count of the fifty Aliso Viejo communities on this site and the highest of any under fifteen acres: Ashwood, Baywood, Brentwood, Elmbrook, Glenoaks, Hillrose, Kerrwood, Pineoak, Rainwood, Stoneglen, Summerwood, Whitewood and Wildwood. The city zones 11.9 acres Residential Medium Density at up to 18 units to the gross acre and a further 2 acres Open Space Preservation; the measured figure is fourteen addresses to the acre.

Two parks touch the boundary. Pinewood Park runs to 6.1 acres with a softball field, a drinking fountain and walkways, and Argonaut Park to 11.9 acres with a sports field, a basketball court, a tot lot, a drinking fountain and picnic tables. Glenbrook Park at 5.2 acres is 56 feet away, Brookline Park at 6.8 acres 964 feet with sand volleyball, and Creekside Park at 18.3 acres 1,335 feet. Capistrano Unified's own address locator assigns this ground to Oak Grove Elementary for TK through grade 5, then Aliso Viejo Middle and Aliso Niguel High.

Thirteen streets and almost all of them end in wood or oak: Ashwood, Baywood, Brentwood, Elmbrook, Glenoaks, Hillrose, Kerrwood, Pineoak, Rainwood, Stoneglen, Summerwood, Whitewood and Wildwood. Two hundred homes on 13.9 acres, which makes this one of the tightest built pieces of the Glenwood village.

It is also one of the earliest. It was built in 1987, ahead of most of the Glenwood neighborhoods around it, which went up through the late 1980s and the 1990s as the village filled in around what became the Aliso Viejo Country Club. The club's twenty seven hole course, laid out by Jack Nicklaus and his son, did not open until 1999, so the first residents here bought their homes on ground that was still open.
