Rancho Mission Viejo officials announced that Del Webb, Lennar, and Tri Pointe Homes will build 326 homes in five new neighborhoods for the newest village on The Ranch, Gavilán Ridge, exclusively for 55+ residents.
“With the large and growing population of Baby Boomers reaching retirement age and GenX not far behind, demand for 55+ living is at an all-time high. Our newest village, Gavilán Ridge, will help to meet this housing demand while weaving in the elements of wellbeing, community connection, and intergenerational living that make The Ranch one of the most desirable places to live in Southern California,” said Kris Maher, Senior Vice President of Community Development, Rancho Mission Viejo. “We are also proud to offer the largest number of 55+ single level living homes in an Orange County master planned community come early 2026.”
Homes in Gavilán Ridge will emulate Farmhouse, Ranch, Mercantile and Prairie designs, and feature universal design features like wider doorways and zero-step entrance to assist with everyday living, whole home mesh Wi-Fi, and the luxury of a lock and leave lifestyle thanks to less yard space and maintenance.
