Mission Viejo Housing Proposal | 200+ Homes Could Be Planned Near Saddleback College

May 26

Mission Viejo officials are moving forward with early planning tied to a potential new housing development near Saddleback College that could eventually bring 200+ new homes to the area — most likely a mix of condos, townhomes, and other higher-density ownership.

Facts/highlights:

• Site identified as Site 3

• ~22.8-acre city-owned property

• Located near Center Dr + Saddleback College

• Trumark Homes approved for due diligence access on the site

• Potential plans discussed for 200+ housing units

• Minimum 20% affordable housing requirement tied to the site

• Property identified to help Mission Viejo meet state housing requirements

• Portions of the site constrained by slopes/open space conditions

📅 Timeline / Status:

• Mission Viejo City Council approved a Property Access Agreement with Trumark Homes on April 14, 2026

• The agreement allows site studies, inspections, and feasibility work

• No final housing project or construction approvals have been granted yet

Bottom Line:

This proposal is part of Mission Viejo’s broader Housing Element plan to help meet state housing requirements and add more housing inventory over time. At the same time, community discussions have included concerns surrounding traffic, hillside/environmental impacts, wildfire risk, and grading.
