Overview
About Indian Hills
Indian Hills is 11.6 acres of 66 attached homes on Sparrow Hill, Autumn Hill, Sage Hill, Robin Hill and Holly Hill lanes, in the western arm of Laguna Hills the city calls the Westside Annexation. The city records 74 parcels against those 66 homes, so the land is divided lot by lot rather than held in common.
Lots run to a median of 0.05 acres, with a median living area of 1,605 square feet and three bedrooms the median count. The Orange County Fire Authority places the boundary in evacuation zone LGH12, which covers 1,970 households, and Indian Hills 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 Indian Hills was built
This corner was built as part of Aliso Viejo, the community the Mission Viejo Company laid out after buying the last 6,600 acres of the Moulton Ranch in 1976. Laguna Hills annexed it on 18 September 2000, about 149 residential acres together with Sheep Hills Park, a year before Aliso Viejo itself became a city. Indian Hills is one of the earliest pieces of it, built in 1981 and 1982 in a single push.
The street names read like a list from a field guide crossed with the word hill: Sparrow Hill, Robin Hill, Sage Hill, Autumn Hill and Holly Hill. It is the tightest community in this part of town, 66 attached homes on about eleven and a half acres with lots of roughly a twentieth of an acre, at a middle size of about 1,605 square feet with three bedrooms. Sheep Hills Park is still run by the Aliso Viejo association rather than by Laguna Hills, a quiet leftover of the 2000 annexation.
