For the 55+ buyers four single-story neighborhoods each feature their own character, but all offer conveniences. The entry will be gated with electronic openers (not guarded). Large community pool, Hacienda Club house, community gardens set with surrounding hillsides that hold on to their rural beauty. Orange Groves, horse stables, and hiking trails all in area create a country setting for this new community.

Exit the I-5 at Crown Valley Parkway to avoid the Caltrans construction on the Ortega/I-5 on and off ramps. Go east. At Antonio Parkway turn right and head south. Before Ortega, turn left at the signed entry.

Kitchen so clean and white!

 The hillsides have been inhabited by native peoples, then cattle ranchers, then orange and lemon groves. Today there are hiking trails and cowboy activities with the rodeo and equestrian events. There are a couple phases to Rancho Mission Viejo and this post is about the "retirement" section. What is it they politically correct call it? It's not Senior living any more it is just for the over 55 set.

Standard Pacific | Casitas

Casitas showcase the relaxed spirit of ranch-style living. From the cook’s kitchen with its oversized island to the covered outdoor Ranch Room, these two- and three-bedroom homes with den or loft range from 1624 to 2059 square feet and feature two-car garages. They do not look like “retirement living” homes.
