Aliso Viejo Reviews
Rating 4.29 out of 5 160 reviews
Aliso Viejo is a clean, family and safe city. The schools are top notch, and the residents are very well respected. The city was incorporated in the early 90's. While most cities have police department, Aliso Viejo and the surrounding cities are watched over by the Sheriff Department. This was very new to me when I first moved to Aliso Viejo. I love this city and have been here for 16 years now.
Absolutely love this city! I am a young professional and we just moved from Washington DC to Aliso Viejo. We absolutely love the nature, beautiful views, and how peaceful this city is.
As a 20 year resident here is a summary of living in Aliso.
The Good- location, weather, accessibility to beaches and jobs in other cities, convenient to the toll road, good recreational activities for young families, nice greenbelts and landscaping.
The Bad - dense housing, sparse amenities, police that keep crime rate low by underreporting and refusing to prosecute offenses, loss of businesses such as Lowe’s, no allowances for multigenerational living to care for aging parents, the stop lights are timed to make your 7 mile drive through town take 20-25 minutes, poorly run and unprofessional city council that publicly bicker, out of touch neighborhood HOA raised dues from $73 to $87 to $97 all during a pandemic, a high school with a larger drug issue than expected.
