Walden Real Estate

The Walden real estate portfolio is a small one, compromised of 133 single family residences. As you enter the community there's a beautiful waterfall that leads to the pond. The community pool and spa were built next to the pond so everyone can enjoy the natural setting.

The homes are located in single loaded streets, most with beautiful view lots to the east of the Saddleback Mountain. Residents are allowed to fish in the community's own private pond, which is fully stocked with fish, and are required to follow catch and release protocols, to maintain the natural reserves.

Walden was built by Brock Homes in the 90's, and on top of all those great amenities the community offers, it has a real advantage: there's no mello roos, and the property tax is one of the lowest in all Rancho Santa Margarita. When Brock built it there was a lot of concerns about future property values for these homes so the builder decided to pay off the Mello Roos bonds, giving these homes an approximate tax rate of 1.2%.

Walden homes don't come in the market too often but for those looking for the tranquility of a private neighborhood, with upscale homes, with no through traffic in and in a gorgeous natural setting, Walden might be worth waiting for.
