We are thinking of buying (maybe renting first) in Aliso Viejo, as we like the area and its close proximity to Newport Beach (where we work). We are aware of the toll expense, but what other draw-backs does Aliso Viejo have?: 1- Schools not as good as Irvine? 2- Undesirable area for...

I rent for $2400 in Newport Bluffs, and I see at least 4 vacant units in my floor, but none of them is showing up in the Irvine Company Rental-Living website (under any floor plan). They listed only a couple of units from another building with even higher prices than 6 month ago. I wonder...
