http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/2367 By Don Juan Ortega, on June 7th, 2013 For the last few days, we’ve been discussing the issue of cityhood in detail.

Because that discussion was so important, we [...]

Come to realize that the discrete sections on the graphic below (separated by the dashed lines) represent the builder tracts — giving you and idea of where the remaining builders will be [...]

Today, we explore two tract maps that will collectively make up the TRI Pointe Homes development within Rancho Mission Viejo’s Village of Sendero.

http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/1895 By Don Juan Ortega, on March 28th, 2013 We write a lot about Rancho Mission Viejo on this blog, but why get your information from us when you can get it straight from the source? The San Juan Chamber is hosting its monthly networking breakfast on April 3rd, featuring a representative from Rancho Mission Viejo Company talking about Sendero and the Ranch Plan. [...]
