Overview
About Saddleback Capistrano
Saddleback Capistrano covers 19.92 acres and the city's address layer records 136 addresses inside it, across six named streets: Paseo Manana, Paseo Sanchez, Via De Aguila, Via De Gavilan, Via De Oliva and Via De Toledo. Those 136 homes sit on 65 numbered lots from the recorded map and 73 parcels on the county record, which is the shape of paired housing rather than detached lots, and the zoning matches, 19.9 acres in the Residential Garden-4,000 District with the General Plan carrying 15.7 acres as Medium High Density. None of the 0.64 miles of street inside the boundary appears on the city's Private Roads layer, because the map offered every one of them to the public.
Four interior points were tested against the Capistrano Unified locator and all four returned the same three campuses. Kinoshita Elementary takes TK through fifth grade with 302 students at a 22 to 1 ratio and feeds Marco Forster Middle, which enrolls 930, and San Juan Hills High School enrolls 2,641 and graduated 96.2 percent of its class.
