Review of Irvine, California


Great place to live in S. CA
Star Rating - 12/2/2017
Pros
Local farmer's markets, easy access to beaches, plenty of events, top rated schools and universities located nearby make this a great place to live for young and old alike.
Convenient to freeways and John Wayne International airport, there are many top hotels and attractions in this area.
There are a lot of undeveloped open spaces as well as hiking, biking, and parks for the outdoorsy types/families.
It's fun to see the fireworks from Knott's Berry Farm along with the stars in the sky each night!
There is a strong sense of community among residents here.
We have been fortunate to have met many kind and wonderful international friends as well as many happy long time Irvine residents.
Would highly recommend Irvine as a place to live or to visit. There is truly something here for everyone.
Cons
Housing costs are expensive
Endless summer
