New Urbanism Development on Historic Military Site
Tustin Legacy represents one of Orange County's most significant urban infill redevelopment projects. Built on the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin Legacy brings new urbanism principles to central Orange County with a mix of attached and detached new construction homes, retail, dining, and office space. The development creates pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods with walkable access to amenities. Multiple builders including Brookfield, Brookfield Residential, and others are delivering homes across different phases of the development, offering everything from attached townhomes to detached single-family residences.

I track development activity across the county through my weekly Orange County Housing Report.
