Mission Viejo

Mission Viejo has served as a master-planned residential community in southern Orange County since the 1960s. Built on former Rancho Mission Viejo land, the city occupies the Saddleback Valley beneath the Santa Ana Mountains, a coastal range that defines its eastern horizon. Lake Mission Viejo, a man-made reservoir at the center of the community, is surrounded by parks and residential streets designed as part of a unified plan. Oso Creek runs through the city, and its corridor contributes to a local network of paths and open space. The Mission Viejo Library and Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center reflect the city’s civic focus, while the Rancho Mission Viejo name recalls the area’s ranching past.
