Ladera Life

Key Principles

  • Encouraging social interaction through the internet

Details

Laderalife, an intranet site for the community living at Ladera Ranch, California, offers a range of services and opportunities to the residents and is a key source of interaction between neighbours, organisations and local businesses.

The site hosts community services, links to local businesses, information on the development and its environs and direct contact with the development’s management. The site also contains details for clubs, message boards and online booking for community events, restaurants, sports facilities and medical appointments.

The site is today managed and operated by the Ladera Ranch Community Services (LARCS). LARCS is a non-profit public benefit corporation that coordinates activities, events, formation of clubs, and facilitates distribution of community information to the residents.

LARCS is funded by Community Enhancement Fees collected at the original sale and resale of homes (an eighth of 1% of the house prices) within Ladera Ranch, and business sponsorships.
