Learn MoreCounting the Chimneys on a Lake Forest Property
About six in ten homes here postdate 1980, with Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills built up mostly in the 1990s and Baker Ranch newer still. That means metal flues and an association in many cases. A larger house may have more than one, so we always count before starting. Dry gusts arrive mostly in fall and winter and can strip a poorly fastened cap or spread embers. Summer sun dries crowns where they exist, and quakes here are all regional, with no named one centered in town.
What a Typical Lot Has
A Foothill Ranch or Portola Hills home with one or two metal units, or a townhome with a flue on a shared roof.
What We Watch on Each Flue
Strong dry gusts near the foothills, caps stripped by them, and embers carried toward chase tops.
Where It Sits on Our Route
Lake Forest is a south county city that took its name from two man-made lakes.
Shared Visit Days
Lake Forest visits often share a day with Trabuco Canyon, Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo.
Before We Book
How many fireplaces does your Lake Forest house have?
Count the ones inside, the ones outside and any stove in a guest house or workshop. That number sets the length of the visit, and each one gets its own note afterward.
