I’ve owned and sold homes in Irvine for nearly 20 years, and my Team and I spend a lot of time there. We love meeting the residents and hearing exactly why they love living there so much. So what are people saying? Here’s 3 of the top reasons why people LOVE living in Irvine, California.

First, the schools. Irvine Unified School District is one of California’s best school districts with 6 high schools and 30 elementary schools. Irvine Unified schools are listed on the 2022 Best Schools in America report as well as winning the National Blue Ribbon Award 19 times. That means no matter where you live in Irvine, your child will have access to a great education.

Second, neighbors rave about the resort-style amenities to be found nearly everywhere in the city.  We have 277 Irvine parks and they’re perennially rated among the top 10 in America by the Trust for Public Land. Whether you want to hike, bike, swim, find a playground, storm a castle or fly a kite… it literally feels and looks like Disneyland here. Irvine is one of the most desirable cities for outdoor life in California.

Finally, the safety and low crime are a huge draw to people from all over the state, especially neighboring counties like LA and Riverside.  In fact, according to FBI data, Irvine has ranked the safest city of it’s size for 17 consecutive years!  We have the lowest per capita violent crime rate of any city in the nation with a population of 250,000 or more. That means you and your family can feel safe wherever you go, day or night, and residents of Irvine are thankful for it! 

All these reasons contribute to why property values are still high and likely to appreciate further into the future in Irvine. With such a safe, fun, and beautiful environment, there’s something to love for everyone here! If you're considering a move to Irvine or anywhere in Orange County, don't wait!
