Options For Many Lifestyles
Gated Community
Irvine is home to numerous gated communities spread throughout the city. The majority of Irvine Gated Communities contain single family homes and luxury estates, although there are select condo and urban living options that are secured developments. Gated communities tend to feature 24-hour security and amenities such as a community pool and clubhouse area.
Golf Course
There are four public golf courses in Irvine and one private award-winning club. From the luxurious estates located in the Shady Canyon golf community to the quaint condos near the Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course, there is a nice variety of Irvine homes and condos located on or near area golf courses.
Lake View and Lake Front
Irvine is home to two beautiful lakes: the 750-acre Irvine Lake area and the smaller Woodbridge Lake. While there are no homes in the Irvine Lake reserve, both the North and South Lakes of Woodbridge feature homes and condos that are located right on the lake fronts or feature gorgeous lake views.
Luxury
Irvine features some of the newest and most luxurious estates on the Orange County real estate market. There are numerous luxury homes spread throughout the city of Irvine that start in the $1.5 million price range. Some of the most incredible luxury Irvine homes are found in Turtle Ridge, Quail Hill, and Shady Canyon, and people looking for a luxury Irvine condo will love the penthouse options of Central Park West and the Airport Area.
Ocean View
Due to the majority of Irvine real estate being located east of the 405 Freeway, ocean view homes are rare in Irvine. Turtle Ridge, situated high in the western hills of Irvine, features select luxury estates that offer views of the Pacific coastline, but the views more often than not will be limited and not as panoramic as those found in Orange County coastal cities such as Newport Beach and San Clemente.
Short Sale and Bank-Owned
Irvine, like all of the real estate markets in Orange County, contains homes and condos that are short sales or foreclosed properties. Distressed properties may be found throughout Irvine and offer some of the best pricing options in the city. We encourage you to contact an Irvine Residential Living specialist who can educate you on the process of purchasing a distressed Irvine home or condo.
Urban Living
Urban living is a new and exciting lifestyle option in Irvine that promotes closeness with your neighbors and features unique condos and townhomes that are difficult to find anywhere else in Orange County. Irvine urban living options include the highrises in the Airport Area and the brand new Central Park West community that features single-story condos and multi-level townhomes with the latest in modern upgrades and urban features.
