What to Know Before You Buy
Buying a condo or townhome in Aliso Viejo is not just about the purchase price. The HOA is equally important. Every community in this price range is HOA-governed, and the financial health of that HOA reserve fund levels, pending special assessments, litigation history can significantly affect your investment. I review HOA documents for every client before we close.
School district boundaries are another key variable. Most of Aliso Viejo falls within Capistrano Unified, but the specific school your address feeds into depends on your location within the city. If schools matter to your decision, verify the boundary assignment before making an offer not after.
