    "As a resident for over 5 years, I think Lake Forest is highly underrated. There are few places in OC where you can find affordable single-family houses with big lot. Besides, it has good schools, low crime, friendly neighborhoods and a lot of trees! I can't believe people haven't found out they could get better houses for the money here than nearby expensive cities."

The worst thing about the lakeside community is the geese during mating season, so if that’s the only thing that can be found to complain about then you know it’s a peaceful place to live."
