Aliso Viejo
Aliso Viejo was the last city to incorporate in Orange County, formally taking shape in 2001 after decades as a Mission Viejo Company master plan. Town Center sits at the geographic and commercial heart of the city, and the housing stock ranges from compact attached townhomes to single-family homes on the ridgelines. Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park borders the southern edge.

What buyers and sellers ask most often about Aliso Viejo.
What makes Aliso Viejo different from Mission Viejo or Laguna Niguel?
Aliso Viejo was planned and built more recently as a single master community and incorporated only in 2001, so the streets, the village layout, and the public spaces are all younger and more uniform than what you find in Mission Viejo or Laguna Niguel.Is Town Center a walkable place to actually live?
Yes, within its footprint. The condos and townhomes around The Commons sit within walking distance of dining, the cinema, and the grocery anchors. The walkability does not extend across the whole city, but it is real inside the Town Center radius.Are there single-family homes with golf course views?
Yes, primarily inside the Glenwood community around the Aliso Viejo Country Club. Course-facing lots and ridgeline view homes both come up there, and the gated community structure is reflected in the HOA dues.Who are the major employers near Aliso Viejo?
Pacific Life and Fluor both maintain large footprints along the Pacific Park corridor inside city limits. United Parcel Service operates a major facility in the area, and Capistrano Unified School District is the largest employer in south Orange County.How is the commute to John Wayne Airport from Aliso Viejo?
The 73 toll road is the fastest route to John Wayne Airport for most addresses, typically running 15 to 20 minutes off peak. The 405 is the no-toll alternative, with materially longer drive times during the morning and evening rushes.
