Overview
About Valencia
Valencia covers 21.9 acres and records 425 addresses, all with unit designators, on six parcels. That is more homes to the acre than any other boundary in this guide. Five streets run 0.63 miles inside it: Del Rey, La Glorieta, Las Flores, Los Viveros and Via Linda. All 21.9 classified acres sit at 3.5 to 6.5 homes an acre on the general plan, a designation set for the parent tract rather than the built form.
The whole boundary lies in flood zone X. Saddleback Valley Unified serves it, and the district assigns campuses through an address locator rather than a published boundary map, so confirm the campus for a specific address at svusd.org before it matters to an offer.

How Valencia was built
Almost all of Valencia sits inside one recorded map. Tract 10647 was filed with Orange County on 28 May 1981 and surveyed by Jack G. Raub, when this was still unincorporated county territory. Mission Viejo did not incorporate as a city until 1988. Del Rey, La Glorieta and Los Viveros all fall inside that single 1981 map, and the homes built under it stand on just six parcels.
It is dense ground: 425 homes on 21.9 acres, served by only five streets. Their names are Spanish and domestic rather than grand. Los Viveros means the nurseries, the places where young plants are raised, La Glorieta is a bower or a garden roundabout, and Las Flores is simply the flowers, so the whole set reads as a garden rather than a conquest.

FAQs
Common questions about Valencia
How dense is Valencia?
The city's record shows 425 addresses across 21.9 acres, which is the tightest ratio of homes to land of the fifty communities in this guide. All 425 carry unit designators and sit on six parcels.
How is Valencia related to Las Palmas?
Both sit inside the same 1981 parent map, Tract 10647. Las Palmas was then resubdivided in 1984 by Tract 12066 under Tom R. McGannon, while Valencia was not, so the 1981 map still governs almost all of this boundary.
When was Valencia built?
The ground was subdivided in 1981 under Tract 10647, surveyed in March 1980 by Jack G. Raub while the land was unincorporated county territory. The map was recorded for condominium purposes over nineteen lots.
What streets are in Valencia?
Five: Del Rey, La Glorieta, Las Flores, Los Viveros and Via Linda. They run 0.63 miles inside the boundary, and Via Linda is the road the 1981 map used as its basis of bearings.
