[quote author="USCTrojanCPA" date=1256118891][quote author="dethman" date=1256113184]anyone have any experience or thoughts about these communities in mission viejo? i found a few properties in them to be my liking, didnt realize there were a few newer homes down in ol' MV. it's a bit of a trek from the 5, but it seems like a nice area, and adjacent to mission viejo lake. the power substation on alicia and olympiad and the various high tension lines are a bit of a distractor however. any one live in the area or used to? would be interested in schools in the capistrano valley district and shopping/restaurants in the area...</blockquote>
I viewed a few homes in the area with a few buyers. It's actually not too far of a drive from the 5 on Alicia. The prices seem very reasonable compares at around $250-$260/sf. I knew that there were newer homes near MV Lake but never been over there until recently. Did you get a chance to view the REO on Sweetmeadow? I like how the communities are gated and if you don't have a home with a view of the lake then you don't have to deal with the power lines.</blockquote>
no, i didn't get to see that one, i had seen the listing but it seemed awfully close to the high tension power lines. i'm sure the emf is low, but they're just sort of an eyesore. area would be ideal otherwise, trying to judge if the lines/substation will be a big deal, enough to prevent me from making an offer on another property...
