Nestled in the rolling hills of a historic 23,000-acre ranch, you’ll find one of South Orange County’s newest master-planned communities, Rancho Mission Viejo. This new, vibrant community is ideally located northeast of San Juan Capistrano and directly south of Ladera Ranch. Renowned for its stunning natural landscape and pristine properties, Rancho Mission Viejo also offers miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails through the popular 17,000-acre nature reserve, The Reserve at Rancho Mission Viejo.
Multiple residential communities began opening in phases starting back in 2010. More residential communities are slated to be developed in phases up until 2030. A new community called Rancho Mission Viejo celebrated its grand opening back in 2013 with the debut of its first village called Sendero. In the fall of 2015, the village of Esencia celebrated the grand opening of its first 12 neighborhoods. The Rancho Mission Viejo community is slated to provide several mixed-use villages (developed in phases over the next few years) which include up to 14,000 new homes; 6,000 of which will be for buyers aged 55 and up.
