Lived in area for 17 years with family after moving from overseas. Picked the area for the schools which are great. Overall it’s worked well - walk to elementary school, but not to high school. Expect to spend a lot of time driving & lots of apartments = BUSY roads & jams
Neighborhood quiet. Community pool & park are a focus but people mostly keep to themselves with a lot of people moving in - not a real sense of community. Homes pricey - a challenge to get on the housing market.
It's served us well but lack of community & cost of housing mean that now our kids are leaving we want to move to lower cost with more community/diversity. Others have moved out once their children graduated
Near ocean. Trails and greenbelt areas walkable from your door. Good shopping. A lot of good restaurants. Theaters /music - concerts at South Coast & The Observatory. Disney & Knotts Berry Farm 20 minute drive. Orange County airport . Can't beat facilities and accessibility of the area.

I love Irvine. I've been living in the same house in Irvine for 18 years (since birth). I think it's an amazing place to raise a family or for anyone that isn't looking for a constant adrenaline rush. It's true that Irvine might not be the most exciting place, but it's an amazing place to live. The air quality is amazing (fresh air everywhere) and it's so peaceful but still close to everything you'd ever need. There's food from almost any ethnicity you can think of within a 15 minute drive and if you ever want to drive further, there's some pretty famous places only around 45 minutes away in LA. The city definitely has every day-to-day necessity and if you ever want to get some adrenaline pumping there are tons of options within an hour drive or less. I really love Irvine and I've committed to UCI so I'll be sticking around for at least 4 more years.
Community events are planned from time to time, however some neighbors are not friendly. Many seem uptight and don't bother engaging in conversation. The community is pretty pet friendly, many are dog and cat owners. The neighbors have lived in the area for many years.
