The Meadows, Lake Forest by Toll Brothers

Hi neighbors,

We’re excited to be moving into Parklands at the Meadows soon! I was hoping to get some insight from those already living here on how families are handling school transportation since there are no local schools in the neighborhood.

Do most families drive, carpool, or use school buses? Are there any organized carpools, rideshare groups, or local pickup/drop-off services that people recommend?

Thanks so much for your help—we’re looking forward to joining the community!

Hi Xander, I don't live in The Meadows, I'm across the street in Baker Ranch.

My oldest kid just started kindergarten and we drive him up the hill to Foothill Ranch elementary, it's pretty close. I imagine when we're older we'd look to share rides. Currently we have a nanny come 4 days a week to pick up our kid from school.


The community of foothill ranch is great, we've met lots of families at the various parks and pools, the town center is great for taking the kids, and the Spectrum is about 10 minutes away which is both great for taking the kids or when I want a break and want to eat somewhere nice kid free.
