Wakeup Call for Neighbors

Residents who live near the proposed UDR, Inc. apartments are distributing the following information about the project, located east of Marguerite Parkway on Los Alisos.

Protect Your Security and Investment – Fight UDR’s Plan To Build 320 Apartments

UDR, Inc., owner of the former Kmart property on east Los Alisos, received approval of the Mission Viejo City Council in 2005 to build 250 for-sale owner-occupied townhomes. UDR now wants to change the project to 320 apartments with a four-story parking structure. This will be the highest density allowed in the city’s residential developments!!

We – the neighbors – are asking Mission Viejo’s Planning and Transportation Commission to represent us by saying NO to changing the plan.

We have enough apartments and congestion, plus drivers speeding on Los Alisos. Additionally, UDR, Inc. has a bad reputation for mismanaging its projects, e.g., lax security and rundown property. 

Please add your voice to stop the apartment project:

  • Email the city commission and object to changing the plan:   elister@cityofmissionviejo.org
  • Attend the commission meeting on July 11, 6:30 p.m., at City Hall.

Check it out: Google “United Dominion Realty” + complaints. Extensive number of complaints against UDR is a red flag.

The brunt of this apartment project would impact schools, including Trabuco Hills High School and the feeder schools Portola Hills and Melinda Heights. One complaint about UDR is their lack of enforcement regarding number of people “sleeping” in the apartments. The schools may think they will be getting two children from one apartment but may actually be getting six or more!!

UDR’s representative says there will be NO SECURITY after 5 p.m. Mission Viejo already has gang activity creeping in (Los Alisos, Crown Valley, Avery) where apartments have been built. In Mission Viejo, the number of police calls to apartment projects says it all.

Hope to see you at City Hall on Monday, July 11, 6:30 p.m. Get there early as parking is at a premium.
