We are originally from Hawaii and moved to the area last year and are very happy to call this place…read moreour new home. Rancho Santa Margarita is an affluent city located in Orange County, California. It is a beautiful master planned community set upon rolling hills. It is also a city with one of the lowest crime rates, which is a big plus in my book. I enjoy reading our daily local Patch newsletter and seeing all of the silly police blotter stories, which would be almost laughable at times in comparison to the murders and other high crime happening in many other cities. I'll take a police blotter filled with teenage and neighbor disturbances and citizens needing assistance regarding syrup being spilt over their car or their home's window being hit by a paintball anyday over what other cities are experiencing. The community also has so many wonderful things to offer such as excellent top rated public and private schools. Great schools give many of our schools a 9 or a 10, which was really important to us when choosing a city in California to raise our family and call our home. We also have a gorgeous, well stocked library that offers so many wonderful programs to the local children working with alot of the local businesses and companies such as Walgreens, Target and the Fire Department. Along with reading material, they are also a great resource place for all sorts of information in Orange County. RSM seems to have the most pristine and lushest parks that I have ever set my eyes on. The community is very proud of their local parks and take part in taking good care of their parks, unlike many other parks I have been to in other areas (and States, including Hawaii). I was so pleased to see how well kept the park grounds, facilities, playground equipment and bathrooms are maintained. No rust, filth, graffitti, and homeless, to name a few. There are also a variety of shopping available in the area for the residents, where technically you could get all of your shopping done without leaving RSM. I personally would like to see them put in a local Costco, then I'd say the residents would be all set. Some of the local favorites are: Trader Joe's, Target, Bath and Body Works, Pet Smart, Ulta, Ross and CVS. You can also get all of your weekly service necessities taken care of from your Doctor visits and physical fitness at one of the many Doctors or gyms to having your haircut or being pampered at one of the many salons and/or spas. There are also many different financial institutions to choose from along with dry cleaning or tailoring services, all within walking distance. And of course what city wouldn't be complete without tons of dining options? The residents of RSM have numerous food and dining options available from Thai food to Mexican food to American food to Japanese food to Greek food and Italian, to name a few. Some of our favorites are: Cinnamon Productions Bakery Cafe, Carmelita's, Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill, Subway, Embarcadero California Bistro, and Sake Sushi. We are proud to call this little city our home. If you are living in the area also, you should too.

I was able to place my order online and find what I need without any trouble. I was pleasantly surprised that it was delivered a day ahead of schedule. That certainly made my life easier. I would use this company again if I needed another map label service.

The female officer also gave me a booklet to study for Civics test. You will be called to have your headshot taken and they will also scan your fingerprints. The female officer was nice and asked me if the photo was ok or if I wanted a retake. She also rechecked if my names are with any typos. There are two restrooms which are clean to use.

I was here in Long Beach watching the news and getting ready for school when I watched as the second plane hit the 2nd tower. That memory has been with me since. While on a weekend trip to san diego we visited the air and space museum and were surprised to see a cruiser on display that was actually at ground zero! When I got back I thought to myself "I wonder if there's other artifacts that I can see around town". A quick search showed that there were pieces of steel from the towers here. So on 9/11 of last year, we drove out here to see the memorial and have a moment of silence for the victims. The memorial is located at the bottom of the staircase in a pentagon shaped base and honors all lost in the towers, flights as well as first responders. In the center stands a steel beam that was part of WTC donated by NYC Fire and Police. It's quite surreal seeing an object from that dark day in history.
