Overview
About Laguna Audubon II
Laguna Audubon II covers 110.4 acres, the second largest of the fifty Aliso Viejo communities on this site, and holds 402 addresses across 434 mapped parcels. Nineteen streets run inside it and the bird naming of its neighbor carries straight over: Blackbird, Blue Jay, Chickadee, Dove, Dunlin, King Eider, Larkspur, Macaw, Mallard, Merlin, Peacock, Pheasant, Rosy Finch, Skylark, Solitaire, Sora, Spoonbill, Surfbird and Swan. The city zones 50.9 acres Residential Low Density, where the municipal code allows up to eight units to the gross acre, and gives a further 41.8 acres the Open Space Preservation designation, the largest such holding of the fifty. At under four addresses to the acre this is the least dense of them all.
Wingspan Park sits 90 feet from the boundary at 15.5 acres and Ridgecrest Park 129 feet away at 13 acres, the latter with a basketball court, a tennis court, a tot lot, a drinking fountain, picnic tables, walkways and a garden. Hummingbird Park at 5.6 acres is 271 feet off. The boundary is split between two school districts: the county's school district layer puts 77 of the acres in Capistrano Unified, which assigns Oak Grove Elementary for TK through grade 5, then Aliso Viejo Middle and Aliso Niguel High, and 33 acres on the western side in Laguna Beach Unified, whose own Aliso Viejo street list names Chickadee, King Eider, Pheasant and Rosy Finch and assigns each to Top of the World Elementary.

How Laguna Audubon II was built
The second Audubon phase is the second largest community in Aliso Viejo, 110.4 acres carrying 402 addresses on nineteen streets, and all but one of them is named for a bird: Blackbird, Blue Jay, Chickadee, Dove, Dunlin, King Eider, Larkspur, Macaw, Mallard, Merlin, Peacock, Pheasant, Rosy Finch, Skylark, Solitaire, Sora, Spoonbill, Surfbird and Swan. The master association was incorporated in 1989 and counts 1,681 residences across the wider association, 1,042 of them attached, split among five separate developments each with its own sub association and organized into ten districts, with more than 4,000 trees in the common areas.
The name honors John James Audubon, who published The Birds of America between 1827 and 1838 with 435 hand colored life size prints covering 497 species. Living up to it is easy here: the Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park nearby is a designated wildlife sanctuary carrying 137 species of nesting and migratory birds through about 4,500 acres of old growth oak and sycamore, opened in 1990 on land the Mission Viejo Company gave to the county in 1979.
