OC residents whose homes were damaged in Norte Fire describe hurdles after filing insurance claims

Three weeks after the Norte Fire damaged or destroyed seven homes in Orange County, some residents whose homes remain standing say they are facing serious smoke damage and insurance challenges as they try to return home. Among them is San Juan Capistrano resident Cyndi Dudek, who evacuated her neighborhood as the fast-moving fire approached. “It was very frightening,” Dudek said. Dudek had moved into her home in August. Two months later, on October 16, the fire reached her neighborhood. She said conditions deteriorated rapidly as she evacuated. “From the time I went from my front door just to my car, we were gasping. The smoke was in our face,” she said. Although homes one block away were destroyed, Dudek's home remained standing. Still, she said the property suffered extensive smoke damage. “We lost the habitability,” Dudek said. She said a strong odor remains throughout the home and that ash continues to cover nearly everything inside. Dudek said she is especially concerned because her husband has compromised lungs. An expected lawsuit alleges the destructive Norte Fire in Orange County was caused by a San Diego Gas & Electric equipment failure. The couple filed a claim with the California FAIR Plan, the

This $14 Million Equestrian Estate Sits Within a Double-Gated Orange County Community

Coto de Caza is one of Orange County’s oldest, most exclusive guard-gated communities, where The Real Housewives reality TV franchise was famously born. Although it has frequently been in the spotlight, Coto still offers plenty of private oases. Tucked away on the northeast side, Los Ranchos Estates is a separate gated enclave of about 75 homes—the majority of which sit on multi-acre lots zoned for horses. One of those equestrian estates deserves its own close-up. Art Week NYC Has Officially Kicked Off at the Met Built in 1981 but since renovated, the spread at 31742 Contijo Way comprises an 8,400-square-foot main residence, a one-bedroom guest house, and a one-bedroom barn. The three-acre grounds offer an equestrian’s essentials—a four-stall barn with a tack room, office, and saloon set beside a riding arena and three pastures—plus a couple of resort-style touches like a pool and spa. An aerial view of the three-acre compound with equestrian amenities.

The county's vacancy rate is projected to fall from 5.6% in June to 4.87% as renters fill vacant units.The forecast covers the broader county market, including the Westside. Its averages do not predict rent changes in individual neighborhoods.The report found Los Angeles and Orange counties remain chronically short of apartments, along with Ventura County. It pointed to San Diego County and the Inland Empire as examples of how building more housing can ease pressure on rents."Housing cannot be affordable unless we have plenty of it," said forecast author Moussa Diop, an associate professor of real estate at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy.Los Angeles County has seen an increase in apartment permits following post-wildfire permitting reforms. During the first half of 2026, permits ran 60% above the previous year's monthly average.But the report said it remains unclear how
