Gang Territory

These apartments are claimed as Varrio Familia Flats (VFF) territory. They're the only gang in Rancho Santa Margarita, so I would avoid it, While Rancho Santa Margarita is generally very, very safe, there are plenty of other apartment complexes that are not gang claimed.ā€¦Ā See More >
