Mission Viejo

Back in the early l970's Phillip Morris Company had a community named Rancho Mission Viejo which was the original Mission Viejo, and with a dream he came to Aurora and purchased land on September 24th, 1972 known today as Mission Viejo.      This newly formed community was the up and coming neighborhood for Aurora and other builders were watching to see how this community was being built.   It was known as the "Western living with a Spanish flair."    This is also where the term "California contemporary" was coined.

This developer's dream was to have greenbelts, parks and walking paths throughout the neighborhood for convenience of the homeowners.    There was a private recreation center built, library, nearby golf course (Meadow Hills), and close proximity to Cherry Creek State Park for hiking/biking, fishing, boating, camping.    This community has easy access to the light rail and DTC.

Residents love the community park where you can play ball, enjoy the playground, and across the street there are tennis courts.
