Great community

I moved to Irvine from the Midwest about 3 years ago and haven't regretted it for one minute. This is one heck of a nice community. Very planned out, clean, safe. Great university close by, lots of business opportunities, parks, recreation spots. The housing is beautiful with a lot of townhomes and cottages. Traffic flows through the area very well. Good access to the freeway, close to the beach, shopping, airport, museums, sports, theme parks, other O.C. neighborhoods. L.A. and San Diego are within 2 hours north and south respectfully. Great weather year round as well. Only negatives are lack of personality (Compared to places like Orange, which has the Old Towne, very charming place with a lot of character) and high housing prices (then again, it's California, but good news is housing prices are starting to drop due to the slow real estate market, so good time to get a house!)
