How Rancho Santa Fe Apartments was built
Rancho Santa Fe was built in 1997 along Irvine Boulevard, more than three hundred homes on nineteen acres, at the point where the Tustin Ranch plan meets the older road out of town.
It belongs to a family of apartment communities raised across Tustin Ranch under the Irvine Company's plan and given Spanish ranch names: Alisal, Maderas, Mariposa, Monterey, Santa Fe, Tierra and Veracruz. Santa Fe borrows the name of the San Diego County town rather than anything local. The naming was consistent because the developer was, and because the ground really had been a ranch.
