Lake Forest, California

Lake Forest is situated in South Orange County and has a population of just over 78,000 people. It lies inland and is due east from Newport Beach. Portions of the city are master planned communities, it has an upscale lifestyle and is considered in many reports to be one of the safest cities in the country. There are two large man made lakes and that's where the city gets its name. The forest is mostly eucalyptus trees which provides for a beautiful setting. While Amtrak does run through Lake Forest, it is predominantly a car centric region so when you start the search for your Lake Forest apartment, keep parking in mind.

Run Into Wilderness

The city has a number of outdoor sites for recreational acitivities The Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park has 1,500 acres of trails and woods for mountain biking, hiking and other things. The Aliso Creek Trail is a beautiful 15+ mile track for biking or running.The Heritage Historical Park has a collection of historical buildings showing the way the area looked hundreds of years ago. Also, since Lake Forest is in such close proximity to many other places in Orange County, you'll have a wealth of cultural and recreational venues at your disposal. Just get settled into your Lake Forest apartment and go exploring!

Top Tokyo Sushi

Lake Forest has plentiful and great places to eat. Many locals will swear that World Famous Tommy's is THE place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, but their specialty is burgers so lunch might be best. You might want to check out the Mexican food at Albatros. It's open 24 hours a day, serves up amazing carne asada fries and a killer $5 burrito. If you want more upscale, Crush Wine Bar has excellent foods as does Japon OC for some of the top Tokyo sushi anywhere in California.

Worldly Acts

At night, get out of your Lake Forest apartment and play a little. The Gypsy Lounge is known for the international music acts it books, and it is a very casual, mellow place.Boscoes and Boddy D's also have good live music from time to time, but if you like smaller, pub like places, you're in luck. The Pub on El Toro fits the bill, but you'll probably find a nice neighborhood place right near your apartment.
