A group of mature friends are sitting around an outdoor dining table, eating and drinking. They are cheering with a glass of champagne and enjoying each others company. The image has been taken in Tuscany, Italy.

Interwoven throughout the Esencia masterplan in Rancho Mission Viejo are vibrant, 55+ Gavilán® neighborhoods with two Lennar communities to choose from, Avocet and Iris. Tailored to complement the lifestyles of today’s active adults, they offer a diverse selection of carefree, single-level living homes and expansive, resort-inspired amenities. Discover a community for like-minded individuals, where neighbors become life-long friends and you can live the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of.

Whether you’re looking to kick back and relax or stay active and explore new passions, Gavilán® residents have access to exclusive amenities designed to meet their more sophisticated palette. Meet up with friends at Hacienda, a gated clubhouse with a studio for classes, trailhead, bar, saltwater pool and spa, activity room, massage room and fitness center. Head over to the BBQ Barn where you can fire up the grill at this outdoor space with fire pits and bocce ball courts. After a long day, unwind at The Outlook, an open-air great room with seating and dining areas, fireplace, televisions, resort-style lap pool with cabanas and more.

In addition, residents have access to all other amenities throughout the masterplan. Find plenty of parks and open spaces throughout and dedicated spaces for your furry friends like the South Paw Dog Park. An everyday destination will be The Hilltop Club, a community recreational centerpiece with fitness and exercise spaces, swimming pool, spa, bar with lounge, firepits, bocce ball courts, BBQ pavilion and large event lawn. Put your green thumb to the test at The Esencia Farm or grab your morning coffee from the Canyon Coffee, head out to The Canyon House and take in the mountain views.

This farm-style neighborhood will make you feel like you’re in a completely different world, but you’re never far from city life. Many of Orange County’s best recreation, entertainment and business districts are just a short drive away. The 241 toll road is now open through Los Patrones Parkway which leads right into Rancho Mission Viejo for an easy commute to Irvine and the 133.
