Westchester Ct, Coto de Caza

From the moment we drove through the gates of Coto de Caza we fell in love with its rolling landscape of hills, beautiful homes, white picket fences and trails. Coto has always been known for its stately custom homes and high end golf country club, so we were surprised when we happened upon some neighborhoods that offered wonderful suburban-sized homes. So, we bought a home in the Tanglewood neighborhood.

That was 13 years ago and the love affair with Coto continues to grow. Tanglewood is one of the many neighborhoods that encircle the two magnificent golf courses of Coto. So, while we couldn’t afford a golf membership, we enjoyed the views from our backyard on Westchester Ct, one of several streets terraced above the golf course that overlooked northwest expanse of home-lined Coto hills.

As a family with 2 small children we were treated to a neighborhood that seemed to breed kids and parents all too happy to manufacture activities and events that would consume the long hot weekends. Spontaneous barbeques, dinner exchanges, and block parties sprout constantly. The crowning events , however, are the kid-studded, annual 4th of July and Halloween parades.

We did buy a pool membership which provided plenty of weekend fun. The trails that surround Coto are always inviting whether on foot or on bike. One of favorite bike rides is up to the General Store where we bought a sandwich and then explored the equestrian ranches next store.

Coto is a life in and of itself. What’s not to love.
