Lake Forest, CA Apartments for Rent

Lake Forest gets its name from two man-made lakes surrounded by eucalyptus groves planted back in the early 1900s. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Lake Forest, you'll discover a suburban community with outdoor recreation, shopping centers, and major employers like Oakley and Panasonic Avionics. The city became official in 1991 and grew to include the master-planned neighborhoods of Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills, which brought more housing choices and commercial development to the area.

Renting in Lake Forest means you're close to the 86-acre Sports Park, Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park's hiking trails, and the etnies Skatepark—North America's largest public skating facility. You'll find apartment communities ranging from lakeside properties near the Beach and Tennis Club and Sun and Sail Club to newer developments in Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills. Lake Forest sits along Interstate 5 and the 241 Toll Road, making commutes to other Orange County job centers and beach areas pretty straightforward. Heritage Hill Historical Park preserves buildings dating back to 1863, while the surrounding area has plenty of dining and shopping spots for everyday needs.
