Moulton Parkway III

Moulton Parkway III covers 17 acres and holds 108 addresses across 110 mapped parcels, the third fewest addresses of the fifty Aliso Viejo communities on this site. Only two streets run inside it, Los Adornos and Los Grandes Street, and only five of the fifty carry fewer, each of those a single street. The city zones the whole 17 acres Residential Medium Density, where the municipal code allows up to 18 units to the gross acre, and the measured figure works out to six addresses to the acre.

Iglesia Park is 799 feet from the boundary, six acres, and the city's General Plan names it as the one park the City itself owns and maintains, with a softball field, sand volleyball, a tennis court, a handball court, a tot lot, restrooms, picnic tables and lighting. Vista Park is 1,333 feet off and Pinewood Park at 6.1 acres is 2,510 feet. This ground is in Saddleback Valley Unified rather than Capistrano, and that district's own locator assigns Olivewood Elementary, then La Paz Intermediate and Laguna Hills High.

Two streets, Los Adornos and Los Grandes, the ornaments and the great ones, on 17 acres carrying 108 homes. This is the third of three numbered associations strung along Moulton Parkway on the northern edge of Aliso Viejo, all of them Spanish named, all of them on the older side of the city.

The land here was part of the Moulton Ranch, roughly 22,000 acres of sheep and cattle range that Lewis Moulton and Jean Pierre Daguerre bought as Rancho Niguel in 1895. The houses on these two streets went up in 1971, five years before the Mission Viejo Company bought the last 6,600 acres of that ranch in 1976 and eleven years before the first homes of the master planned city sold in March 1982.
