Mission Viejo
A master-planned city along the 5 and out toward the 241. Private Lake Mission Viejo, older north-end houses, and age-restricted pockets that do not price like the family tracts.

Lake Forest
Incorporated in 1991. Older El Toro-area tracts, newer Baker Ranch, and Foothill Ranch up by the 241. A buyer I worked with closed here. The villages still do not share a price.

Laguna Woods
The age-restricted city on the other side of El Toro Road. Cooperative stock and condominiums, board approval, golf and clubhouses, and almost no reason to shop it like a family neighborhood.

Aliso Viejo
A master-planned city from 2001, between Laguna Hills and the 73. Town Center, canyon-edge open space, mostly Capistrano Unified, and a slice of Saddleback Valley schools.

Laguna Beach
An arts town on Pacific Coast Highway, with its own school district, hillside houses, coves, and a permit process that can matter more than the paint color.

Irvine
Master-planned villages from Woodbridge and Turtle Rock to the Great Park and Portola Springs. Most schools are Irvine Unified. Comps are tight because buyers can tour ten similar houses.

Ladera Ranch
An unincorporated community of villages, from Avendale and Terramor to gated Covenant Hills. Capistrano Unified schools, a master association, and newer houses than Laguna Hills.

San Juan Capistrano
The mission town on the 5 and Ortega Highway. Los Rios, downtown, equestrian edges, gated communities such as Marbella, and tract streets that should not be priced off a historic cottage.

Dana Point
One city made of the harbor, the bluffs at Monarch Beach, and Capistrano Beach along the coast highway. Capistrano Unified schools, older beach housing, and headlands that do not price like a tract.
