Overview
About Briosa
Briosa covers 25.6 acres in the Alicia Creek part of Laguna Hills, and the city counts 248 attached homes inside the boundary, reached from Conejo Street, Las Palmas, Berrendo, Acaso and Merienda. The gate flag the city carries on this boundary reads no.
The city's parcel record holds twelve parcels here, so the land beneath the homes is owned in common rather than divided lot by lot. The Orange County Fire Authority places the boundary in evacuation zone LGH16, which covers 1,088 households, and Briosa lies inside Saddleback Valley Unified School District, whose campuses inside the Laguna Hills city limit are Valencia, Lomarena and San Joaquin elementaries and Laguna Hills High.

How Briosa was built
The Moulton Ranch was divided and sold off beginning in 1950, and the land along Alicia Parkway filled in through the following decades under county rule. Eighty six percent of residents voted for cityhood on 5 March 1991, and Laguna Hills became a city on 20 December 1991. The city files Briosa in its Alicia Creek area, on the flat between Alicia Parkway and the creek.
The streets keep the Spanish going and stay close to the ground. Conejo is the rabbit and Berrendo the pronghorn antelope, both animals of the open coastal plain; Las Palmas is the palms; Merienda is the light meal of the afternoon; and Acaso means by chance. The community itself is 248 attached homes across about twenty five acres, ungated, and it is one of the larger condominium groups on this side of town.

The Briosa lifestyle
The city publishes eight named trails and gives each its own mileage. Aliso Creek Trail runs 2.0 miles inside the city limit as a county maintained national recreation trail, open to walkers, cyclists and riders on horseback. Alicia Trail is a paved 1.33 miles from Moulton Parkway and Alicia Parkway northeast to the Laguna Hills Community Center.
Oso Parkway carries a trail on each side. The Oso Bikeway Trail is 1.64 paved miles along the north side from Moulton to Cabot Road, and the Oso Multi-Use Trail is 1.79 dirt miles along the south side open to every user. The Nellie Gail Trail adds 0.90 dirt miles from Ramona Street to La Paz Road, and the Veeh Trail follows 0.26 riparian miles beside Veeh Ranch Park.
Fossil Reef Park is built on a limestone reef the city dates to roughly 17 million years ago, when much of Orange County lay under a shallow tropical bay. The reef runs six miles long and 300 feet deep and holds scallop shells the city describes as the size of dinner plates.
