Mission Viejo is considered one of the largest and most successful master-planned cities in the U.S. and it is located within South Orange County, CA in the Saddleback Valley. The city is mainly a commuter city with its suburban neighborhood and residential areas. It got its name as a reference to Rancho Mission Viejo which is part of a Spanish land grant where the city was founded. Before it was developed, the hilly region of Mission Viejo was widely used for grazing cattle and sheep since it was hard for farmers to use the land for planting due to its complex geographical location. However, in the 1960s, a blueprint of the carefully planned city of Mission Viejo was created by Donald Bren, which would include residential homes, schools, and recreational parks that made use of the contoured geography of the area giving birth to what is now considered one of the best places to live in the U.S.

The city of Mission Viejo has a population of over 100,000 as of 2019, and it is considered an upscale location to live in with a median household income of $119,798. In 2007, it was named as the safest city to live in the United States by the Morgan Quitno Press, and just recently, it was also part of the Top 50 best places to live in the country. With its good schools, homey residential areas, and sunny weather, Mission Viejo is indeed an ideal place for families

Even if it is mainly a residential area, Mission Viejo still offers many attractions and annual events for both tourists and residents alike. The top shopping centers in the city are the Kaleidoscope Courtyards and The Shops at Mission Viejo (previously known as Mission Viejo mall) where they provide family-centered shops and services to mainly upper-middle-class customers. If you are looking for outdoor activities, the city has many recreational areas including a man-made lake at the heart of the city, Lake Mission Viejo.
