Irvine is one of the largest master-planned cities in the United States, developed by the Irvine Company around a set of self-contained villages, each with its own parks, schools and shopping. Because Irvine is home to highly rated public schools, a large concentration of skilled jobs and some of the lowest crime rates in the country for a city its size, demand here is steady in every market cycle.
Living in Irvine
Villages range from established 1970s neighborhoods like University Park and Turtle Rock to newer communities such as Great Park Neighborhoods, Portola Springs and Orchard Hills. Irvine Unified School District and UC Irvine anchor the city’s reputation. Housing is predominantly newer construction with HOAs, and Mello-Roos assessments vary significantly by village, which matters when comparing list prices.
Why work with us here
Irvine is where many of our clients relocate to or from. We help buyers compare villages on total monthly cost, not just list price, and we help sellers position against new-construction competition.
