This area is bordered by Woodside Road on the north, Nimitz Avenue and Selby Lane on the east, Stockbridge Avenue on the south, and Alameda de las Pulgas on the west.
Single-family residences are the most common sort of home in Horgan Ranch. Some homes were built in the early 1900s, several were built between the 1950s and the 1980s, and newer constructions have sprung up around the neighborhood. Additionally, Horgan Ranch is home to a mix of commercial buildings and multi-family residences along Woodside Road, as well as a few separate condominium developments that were built in the 1980s. These condominiums were built in a park-like setting where residents have access to tennis courts, a recreation room, and a swimming pool.
