Beyond the horizon of the picturesque tree-lined streets of
Mission Viejo California, the Saddleback Mountains provide a stunning backdrop. Located in southern Orange County, the land that is today Mission Viejo was once primarily used for cattle and sheep grazing. As Orange County began to experience extraordinary growth during the 20th Century, many people felt that Mission Viejo could not be developed because of the geographic complexity of the area. However, plans were established in the 1960s and by the 1980s, a scenic master-planned community was born. Today, Mission Viejo is considered to be one of the largest master-planned communities ever built under a single project in the United States. Mostly residential, the extremely safe city of Mission Viejo is home to nearly 95,000 residents.
Mission Viejo CA real estate is bordered by Lake Forest to the northwest, Rancho Santa Margarita to the east, San Juan Capistrano to the south, and Laguna Niguel and Laguna Hills to the west.
