Mission Viejo vs Laguna Niguel. Pros & Cons? (condos, house)

Mission Viejo vs Laguna Niguel. Pros & Cons (in terms of lifestyle, employment, standard of living, future price appreciation, weather, crime, amenities, entertainment, people, etc.)?

I am trying to decide which city is better to live in. Both cities seem good.

Honestly there's not much difference between the two, just the address.

We're looking at those two places too...thanks for the confirmation that they are similar...that's what we concluded too

Did you find that the Mello Roos were similar as well?

I personally prefer Laguna Niguel, but I honestly can't point out why. I seem to remember summer being cooler in LN, but maybe it was just the year I lived there versus when I lived in Mission Viejo. In any case, I'd settle on wherever is closer to your job or has the house you want. Look in both areas; I'm sure your Realtor won't mind!

Regarding mello roos...It depends on the property as far as I can tell. I'm looking at condos more so not sure if that affects things. I think there's another thread someplace on this board about mello roos.
