Mission Viejo, Planned residential community in Orange County, United States
Mission Viejo stretches across the Saddleback Valley with Spanish-style architecture, tree-lined streets, and Lake Mission Viejo at its center.
The land originated as Rancho Mission Viejo in 1845 when Don Juan Forster acquired it during the period of Mexican land grants in California.
The Mission Viejo Library serves as an educational center, offering programs, workshops, and learning resources for residents of all ages throughout the year.
The city maintains numerous parks, walking trails, and recreational facilities, including a man-made lake where residents can swim, fish, and boat.
Mission Viejo stands as the first successfully executed master-planned community in the United States, established through a single comprehensive development project.
