Why Lemon Heights? A Community Unlike Anywhere Else

Lemon Heights is one of Orange County’s most coveted hillside communities—known for its estate lots, custom architecture, and preserved natural surroundings.

Here’s what you won’t see on the MLS:

  • Located off private roads with minimal through traffic, offering next-level privacy

  • Minutes from Peters Canyon, Tustin Ranch Golf Club, and equestrian trails

  • Surrounded by citrus history—many lots here originated from early ranch and orchard parcels

  • Close-knit neighbors host annual holiday socials and community gatherings

  • Just 15–20 minutes to John Wayne Airport, the Marketplace, and Old Town Tustin

  • Zoned for award-winning Tustin Unified Schools (Foothill HS, Hewes MS, Arroyo ES)

This is one of the few Orange County neighborhoods where you can enjoy room to roam—without sacrificing convenience or connectivity.

Scarcity & Investment Value

Homes with this combination of acreage, privacy, remodel quality, and flat usable land rarely trade hands in Lemon Heights. When they do, they’re typically held for decades.

With limited new construction, tight inventory, and increased demand for estate-style living, properties like 1761 Lemon Terrace are not only lifestyle purchases—they’re legacy investments.
