How Los Abanicos was built
Los Abanicos means the fans. Where the rest of Rancho Santa Margarita borrows from the Spanish map or from birds and plants, this village named its six streets after ideas: Calle de Vida is the street of life, Calle de Felicidad of happiness, Calle de Suenos of dreams, Calle de las Sonatas of sonatas, Calle de los Grabados of engravings, and Calle de los Ninos of the children.
It was built in 1994 as 258 homes on 19.9 acres, which is thirteen to the acre. The homes are condominium units standing on shared ground rather than on individual lots.
