Community Description
Developed during the 2000s, Fair Oaks Ranch comprises a dozen well-positioned subdivisions, some of which border the picturesque Fair Oaks Park, the central focus of this community. There are also scenic mountain views that can be seen in multiple directions from most areas. Throughout, you’ll discover neighborhoods that are not only visually appealing but also meticulously maintained, exuding an unmistakable sense of home. In fact, some locals would contend that Fair Oaks Ranch can rival even the most popular neighborhoods in nearby Valencia.
With the exception of the condominiums in Heather Ridge, the neighborhoods predominantly consist of traditional detached homes ranging from approximately 1,800 to over 4,000 square feet. These homes typically come with 3 to 6 bedrooms, 2 or 3 car garages, and most offer both front and back yards, some quite large.
Fair Oaks Ranch really is quite lovely and generally, it feels like there’s little more elbow room than in some of the newer communities. Scroll down near the bottom to read brief descriptions on each of the neighborhoods.

Confusion Over the “Fair Oaks Ranch” Community Name
It’s a bit confusing and it really does NOT matter, but everyone refers to all the neighborhoods shown on the map as Fair Oaks Ranch. This makes sense because as we enter the community the sign says “Fair Oaks Ranch”. The fact is, if you try searching for homes in the MLS using the term, “Fair Oaks Ranch in Canyon Country”, there will be no results. Why? Because the local MLS refers to this area as Canyon County 3. Problem is, only realtors are aware of the Canyon Country 3 name, leaving interested home searchers frustrated and confused. So, if doing a home search be sure to look up the correct term. All of us locals just call it what it is, “Fair Oaks Ranch”.
