Mission Viejo

From inception, Mission Viejo was designed by the Mission Viejo Co. to be a well-balanced community.
From wilderness areas to business parks, the originators of this master-planned community aimed to balance residential life and community activities with the business world.

The success of this plan was recognized in 1986 when Mission Viejo became the first American city to be honored as a “World Class Community” at the First International New Town Conference.It also received the Award for Excellence in 1992 from the Urban Land Institute, which stated that the city “stands as one of the most successful American new towns ever realized.”

Entrepreneurs, small businesses and large corporations value the region’s transportation system, highly skilled labor pool and the business-friendly atmosphere the city offers.

The 1999 Kosmont Cost of Doing Business Survey ranked Mission Viejo the second least-expensive city in which to do business in Southern California.

The diverse neighborhoods, many maintained by homeowners associations, include housing types and price ranges that attract young professionals, growing families and mature adults. Executives can relax in the luxury of custom golf-course homes or fulfill their dream of lakefront living. Senior residents also have a wide range of housing alternatives tailored to fit their lifestyles and budgets.

With a total of 40 parks and more in the works, every home in Mission Viejo is within a mile of a park. With parks, a lake, sports fields and recreation centers, residents can hike, bike, swim, fish, golf and boat, all within their city’s borders.
