About 27 Heron

Step outside your front door, and Promenade Park is already waiting — three homes away.

For families with young children, this is the location that changes daily life: morning walks, after-school playdates, weekend afternoons that unfold naturally instead of requiring a drive. It's the kind of proximity you can't recreate with square footage.

Set within the master-planned Baker Ranch community built by Toll Brothers, this modern open-concept home was designed for the way families actually live. Light-filled living and dining areas flow seamlessly to a private backyard retreat — complete with a cascading water wall, built-in seating, artificial turf, and lush privacy hedges — equally suited for weekend entertaining and quiet evenings at home. The chef's kitchen impresses with stainless steel appliances, rich cabinetry, and a generous center island with bar seating, while a main-floor bedroom rounds out the main level — ideal for guests, in-laws, or a dedicated home office.

Upstairs, an elegant curved staircase sets the tone for the second level: a spacious loft for movie nights or a play zone, two well-proportioned secondary bedrooms, a dedicated laundry room (no more hauling baskets downstairs), and a luxurious primary suite with spa-like bath and walk-in closet — your retreat at the end of a full day.

Highlights worth noting:

Three homes from Promenade Park — rare, walkable, and irreplaceable for growing families

20 solar panels included — significantly reduces monthly electricity costs

Resort amenities: pools, spas, splash pads, multiple sports courts, parks, clubhouses, hiking & biking trails

NO Mello-Roos | Low HOA — your budget goes further, every month

Award-winning Saddleback Valley Unified School District

Prime connectivity: quick access to Great Park, Irvine Spectrum, Foothill Town Center & Toll Roads.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.03% (week of Sep 24, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Lake Forest rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
