About Irvine

Irvine is the most meticulously planned large city in the United States and one of the most consistently desirable real estate markets in all of California. Developed by the Irvine Company over five decades, every neighborhood, park, trail, school, and commercial center was designed with long-term livability in mind. The result is a city that consistently ranks #1 in America for safety, delivers outstanding public education through one of California’s highest-performing school districts, and hosts a world-class research university in UC Irvine.

Irvine’s economy is anchored by a formidable roster of Fortune 500 companies and a booming technology and biomedical corridor — Amazon, Google, Broadcom, and Edwards Lifesciences all maintain significant presences. This employment base creates an extraordinarily deep buyer pool of highly-compensated professionals who prioritize top schools and community quality. Neighborhoods like Shady Canyon, Quail Hill, Woodbridge, Turtle Rock, and the newer Great Park communities each offer distinct architectural styles and price points, providing something for buyers from $800,000 townhomes to $10M+ custom estates. Irvine’s real estate is as close to a sure thing as Southern California offers.

Key Neighborhoods: Woodbridge, Northwood, Turtle Rock, Quail Hill, Shady Canyon, Portola Springs, Orchard Hills, and Great Park Neighborhoods each offer distinct character and price ranges.
Schools: Irvine Unified School District — consistently one of California’s top-performing districts. University High, Northwood High, and Irvine High are among the strongest comprehensive high schools in the state.
