Working remotely from Mission Viejo — my experience
I've been working remotely from Mission Viejo for 8 years now. Here's my take:
The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.
Cost of living: a bit high but manageable
Internet: Could be better but workable with a good provider
Coworking spaces: Growing number of options
If you're looking for a place to WFH, Mission Viejo is worth considering.

I work in government and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 1 months.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

I've lived in Downtown for 12 years and it's a hidden gem honestly.

If you can afford it, Maple Heights is the best place to live. Period.

The job market has been improving lately. Several logistics companies moved in recently.

As someone who moved here from San Francisco, I can confirm most of this. The cost of living surprised me the most.
