A Backyard Built for Entertaining

A covered patio provides year-round comfort, and subtle lighting throughout the outdoor space ensures every evening is as beautiful as the view.

Life Inside the Hillcrest Community

The Hillcrest Estates neighborhood represents the pinnacle of elevated living in Orange County. Originally developed in the early 2000s, this gated enclave was designed to capture both security and serenity—where winding streets, custom-built homes, and wide vistas create a community unlike any other in the region.

Local Details You Won’t Find on MLS:

• Historical Roots: The Hillcrest area sits atop what was once the Santiago Orange Groves, one of the earliest citrus-producing tracts in the county—many of the neighborhood’s mature trees still trace back to that era.

• Community Spirit: Hillcrest is known for its tight-knit neighborhood culture, with annual community gatherings, holiday light displays, and resident-led charity events that make it feel both luxurious and local.

• Nearby Destinations: Just minutes away is Orange Park Acres, with equestrian trails, farm stands, and the charm of country life right in the city. Irvine Regional Park and Santiago Oaks offer miles of hiking and biking, while Orange Hill Restaurant—a local landmark since 1975—offers some of the most iconic sunset views in all of Orange County.

• Access & Convenience: Despite its serene elevation, Hillcrest is conveniently close to the 55 and 91 freeways, placing you within 20 minutes of Newport Coast, John Wayne Airport, and downtown Anaheim.

This balance of tranquility, accessibility, and heritage makes Hillcrest one of the most desirable luxury communities in the region.

An Opportunity That’s Rare by Design

Luxury homes of this caliber in guard-gated Hillcrest rarely come to market. With fewer than 50 estates behind the gates—and most owners holding long-term—the opportunity to secure a 6,000+ sq ft panoramic-view home here is exceptionally scarce.

In a market where Orange County’s luxury inventory remains limited, 3148 Abbey Lane stands out not just for its scale and craftsmanship, but for its enduring architectural appeal. Comparable properties in nearby Villa Park and North Tustin easily exceed $1,000 per square foot—making this offering both a lifestyle upgrade and a compelling investment in long-term value.
