| Coto de Caza is
becoming one of the premier communities in the OC. It
is the location for the reality show "Real Housewives of
Orange County". The homes are very pricey, but you can
still find value.
As of the
2000 census, Coto de Caza had a total population of 13,057.
This rural community consists of about 4000 homes, it is one
of Orange County's oldest planned communities.

The first
residents of the area known a Rancho Santa Margarita were
Shoshonean Native Americans called Acagchemen. This land was
purchased in 1843 by Juan Forster who renamed it "La
Victoria."
Located just east of
Mission Viejo, about 20 miles from Laguna Beach, the
residents of this tony community have rural peacefulness,
while being close to the main shopping and business centers
of Orange County. |
