MISSION VIEJO, AURORA, COLORADO

'Mission Viejo' is a subdivision of Aurora, Colorado, in the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area. It is bordered by Buckley Road on the east, Hampden Avenue on the south, Chambers Road to the west and Quincy Avenue to the north.
The land on which Mission Viejo lies was once a homestead at the corner of Quincy Avenue and Chambers Road. The 640-acre plot was purchased around 1972 by the Mission Viejo Company of California with the purpose of creating a planned development in the style of Mission Viejo, California with "Barcelona" entrance walls and "Mission Bell" street lights. Two parkways (Alicia and Marguerite) are also named in honor of Rancho Mission Viejo's matriarchs. The development opened in September of 1972.
The subdivision contains parks, homes of various style and an Aurora Public Library branch and Cherry Creek Schools elementary school. Notable features of the subdivision include the circular drive at its center formed by Mission Parkway, Alicia Parkway and Mission Viejo Park. Mission Viejo Park comprises a large part of the interior of the circle, providing walkways, picnic areas, ball fields, and a large space for family time and community events. Tollgate Creek also runs along the west edge of the park, next to a paved walkway where residents often walk their dogs.
Mission Viejo is a covenant-controlled community.
