Crest De Ville

Crest De Ville covers 132.8 acres and holds 251 addresses on 311 parcels, at a median lot of 0.179 acres. Fourteen named streets run 2.91 miles inside it, English in flavor: Hastings, Cardiff, Camberley, New Haven, Bridington, Westcliff, Mandalay, Belaire, Belcrest, Charmony and Fairmont, with South Peak carrying 0.69 miles along its spine. Open space takes 69.1 acres of the boundary in the city's zoning layer, more than the 44.3 acres given to Single Family District 3, and a further 1.6 acres is zoned park and recreation.

The city's HOA zoning lookup records Crest De Ville as gated with private streets and lists a guard house alongside a pool, spa, tot lot and basketball. The ground runs from 262 feet to 480 feet and every parcel inside drains to Salt Creek. The 2025 fire hazard layer rates 80.6 acres of the boundary High and 43.5 acres Very High. Two thirds of a mile of the Salt Creek Trail runs inside it, and the city's Open Space Inventory covers 70.9 acres here.

Crest de Ville is one of the guard gated communities on the Salt Creek side of the city, and two thirds of its 133 acres are held as open space rather than housing. That proportion is not accidental. When the Laguna Niguel Corporation commissioned the Viennese architect Victor Gruen in 1959 to plan the new town, the plan set aside close to a third of the developable land for parks and open space, and the habit stuck through the AVCO years and after.

The streets here are English in flavor, Hastings, Cardiff, Camberley, New Haven, Bridington, Westcliff, Mandalay, Belaire, Belcrest, Charmony and Fairmont, with South Peak carrying the spine. The city's record runs the years built from 1986 to 1992 with a median of 1989, and 161 of the homes date to that one year, so most of Crest de Ville arrived at once.
