There are pretty much no downsides to living in Mission Viejo except the cost of homes. That's pretty much Orange County wide however and MV is more affordable than the beach city communities. Unless you have $60,000 to put down and have a high income, if you are moving here from out of state be prepared for the fact that you will have to start with a tiny condo and work your way up as you accumulate appreciation on your home. A 2 bdrm condo in a decent area is going to run you a least $500K plus the $300 a month association dues. On the bright side, homes appreciate at a faster rate than most of the country so you just have to hang in there. The schools are award winning, great place to raise a family. Mission Viejo has also been voted one the safest places to live for a number of years now. Great place to live if you can afford it.
