The 2000 census placed 36 percent of the residents under age 21, with the Median age of residents at 32 years. Rancho Santa Margarita is new in another sense… its oldest homes are less than 25 years old. The City is a mix of single family homes, apartments and condominiums, built over hills, valleys and mesas in a long canyon just east of Mission Viejo. The new city takes in the housing tracts of Dove Canyon and Robinson Ranch, but not Coto De Caza.
Rancho Santa Margarita is a nicely done town with a Mediterranean look, comprising of Sandy stucco with terra-cotta tile roof architectures. The city has new schools, a library, many Parks and amenities. Many homes have views of countryside and Santa Ana mountains.

Most of the schools are in the Capistrano Valley Unified School district, and some are in the Saddleback Valley School district. These are two of the highest-scoring districts in the county. Tijeras Elementary was opened in 2000, Tesoro High School in 2001.

The City contracts with the sheriff for protection. Dove Canyon is gated and employs security guards and also gets sheriff's patrols. With the year round perfect weather, higher median household income, very low crime rate and award winning public school district, it is no wonder that CNN Money Magazine named Rancho Santa Margarita as one of the best places to live!
