My favourite place for Vacation.......Love Mission Viejo and my family moved from Scotland to California in the 60's and settled in Mission Viejo in the mid 70's. Beautiful city, clean and very friendly.
Mission Viejo is a great place to raise a family, but for me, it can't quite compare to the energy and excitement I felt in San Diego during my weekend trip there back in 2001
Having suffered the tropical weather of Santa Ana for over a decade, completely forgot about the drastic weather differences between this area and MV (humidity, marine layer, etc.).
@@JohnAlesi - SVUSD and other gov't agencies were part of my accounts in majors/nationals so I spent quite a bit of time in that area. Never minded walking around while there, even on the hottest days, compared to the central, no. county saunas! Great overview. Thx for the feedback on the market the other day John (investors vs. homeowners). Very useful food for thought.
I suppose this is informative for people not familiar with SoCal. The HOAs are out of control with dues climbing to absurd heights. Single family homes that are not gated should never have HOA fees, but they often do. MV people seems to be overwhelmingly conservative ( the good ), but elected reps are democrat ( the very bad ). Electricity rates are 2 -4 times the nat'l average , depending on day/time. Waste management almost doubled the price for garbage collection in 1 year. The MV city hall is unresponsive & charges astronomical permit fees for home improvement ( "we don't care what you do as long as you pay our permit fees" ) I like MV, but the cost of living here is not worth it anymore. The same is true for most any CA city near the coast.

We've been here 30 years and just love this town and the people! Glad you feel the same.

FOr the most part, the weather is pretty mild year round.

Is there any Asian supermarket? We are going to move to mission viejo from Irvine
No, though there is a Persian supermarket within an assortment of other foreign products. You'll have to get your Asian supermarkets in Irvine.
Except for the crow infestation, Mission Viejo is a wonderful place to live. ❤️MV
How strict are the mask rules?
Varies pretty heavily, but I’d say most places don’t care.
Where do people work around MV? Asking for a millennial
They commute. MV is a suburban community, mostly filled with single residence track homes.
