The Villages of Columbus, including the neighborhoods of Columbus Grove and Columbus Square, are two unique master planned communities. They are unique in the fact that part of these communities lie within the city of Irvine and part within the city of Tustin. The Villages of Columbus are part of Tustin Legacy which spans nearly 1,600 acres of land where the former Marine Corps Air Station was located. Tustin Legacy is composed of 4 different neighborhoods: Tustin Field I, Tustin Field II, Columbus Grove and Columbus Square.
