Solana Vista South

Solana Vista South covers 33.7 acres on the city's own HOA Local register, and the city address layer records 104 addresses inside that line. They sit on seven streets, Las Pisadas, Via Babera, Via Vison and Calle Gazapo among them. The published boundary follows lot lines and leaves the street rights of way outside it, so no centerline falls inside. The county parcel record inside the boundary is 132 parcels, predominantly detached single family houses. The median lot the county records here is 0.15 acres and 34 feet wide. The city general plan gives 17.8 of those acres an open space designation. The zoning layer puts 17.6 acres in the OS zone and 15.8 in RL-6000. Mail here carries the 92688 zip code and a Rancho Santa Margarita postal city.

0.8 acres of O'Neill Regional Park fall inside the boundary on the county park layer. 33.1 acres are rated Very High on the 2025 state fire hazard severity map the city publishes. The city assigns the ground to evacuation zone RSM07, which it describes as SFR, HOA Park and Pools. Water comes from the Santa Margarita Water District and trash is collected Wednesday by CR&R. All of it lies in Saddleback Valley Unified, which feeds Melinda Heights Elementary, Rancho Santa Margarita Intermediate and Trabuco Hills High.

Solana is a sunny spot, the side of a hill that catches the light, and the streets under it are a bestiary. Via Vison is the mink, Calle Marta the marten, Via Liebre the hare and Calle Gazapo a young rabbit, while Las Pisadas is simply the tracks they leave. Calle Gazapo carries straight on into Reflections next door, so the animal naming runs across both neighborhoods as one scheme.

There are 104 houses spread over almost thirty four acres, which is loose by the standards of this city, and more than half the ground inside the boundary is open space rather than lots. A sliver of O'Neill Regional Park falls inside the line. The homes went up on the Melinda Heights side, where building ran from 1991 into 2000, and feed Melinda Heights Elementary and Trabuco Hills High.
