Chandon

Chandon covers 14.4 acres and holds 196 addresses on 205 parcels. One street name serves the community, Chandon itself, running 0.43 miles inside the boundary, with a short run of Saint Germain at the edge. The city's zoning layer gives 10.5 acres to Multi Family District, 3.2 acres to street and 0.7 acres to park and recreation. The polygon is tight, filling 94.6 percent of its own convex hull.

The city's HOA zoning lookup records Chandon as not gated but on private streets, flags it as condominiums, and lists a pool and spa. The ground is level, from 495 feet to 505 feet, and drains to Salt Creek. The 2025 fire hazard layer rates the whole 14.4 acres NonWildland and the flood layer places all of it in zone X. Chandon names Marina Hills Planned Community Association as its master, alongside Siena and Encore at Marina Hills, and the city draws it inside a hole cut in the Marina Hills shape.

Chandon is a hole cut in the middle of Marina Hills. The city draws it as its own polygon inside the larger association's shape, and Chandon names Marina Hills Planned Community Association as its master, alongside Siena and Encore. One street name serves the whole community, Chandon itself, running a little under half a mile past 196 addresses on fourteen acres of level ground.

It was built in 1989, the year Laguna Niguel incorporated as Orange County's twenty ninth city on 1 December, and it belongs to the last big wave of the AVCO era. AVCO Community Developers had bought the Laguna Niguel Corporation in 1971. The corporation itself was formed in 1959 by Cabot, Cabot & Forbes and Paine Webber, which hired the Viennese architect Victor Gruen to draw a 7,100 acre plan in which parks and open space took nearly a third of the developable land. Gruen had designed Southdale Center in Minnesota, the first enclosed shopping mall in the United States, three years before.
