Circle J Ranch Community Overview
This community is a bit more spacious than most and overall has a natural feel. There are also more estate type homes than commonly found in other nearby Saugus neighborhoods.
Built from 1980 to 2001, there are actually 5 different neighborhoods or subdivisions making up Circle J Ranch. The most well known might be Circle J Ranch Estates, probably because it was the first area developed. Except for one neighborhood of townhomes, all the homes here are considered to be houses, or single family homes. Also, two of the communities are gated and do have HOA’s. The others do not have a HOA. Scroll down near the bottom of the page to view more extensive information about each neighborhood.
