    To me, one of the most important assets to living in Irvine is SNA. A wonderful regional airport and I rarely have to use LAX. Win-Win! And year-round warm weather? Yes, yes please.

    Thank you so much for making this video. I like it very much. I love Irvine too and I have been living here forever 1 and half years. 1 question, what do you mean the “cook-cutter”?

    • @simplyliving540
      @simplyliving540 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cookie Cutter means that because of the various HOA and building requirements, many newer homes are designed very similarly and don't have much unique design to them. Areas like Lake Forest and Mission Viejo have a lot more different home styles and a variety of newer and older style homes

    We are considering buying in that area next year possibly, we want detached house 3-4 bedroom (need yard), we have 2 kids. We are planning to come visit soon to check out the area. Any recommendations of places we should visit? is it possible to find anything no more than $850,000?

      Algorithm Intelligence There are very different home types in Orchard Hills: condo, detached condo, single family home. They also have gated communities. In terms of school, part of OH assigned to Irvine school district, the other part is Tustin school district. Would love to share more info with you. Feel free to contact me off line.

    Used to live in Tustin for many years in the 90s. Was never able to afford living in Irvine. Irvine is a good place to retire for elders. Lots of mixed people with different ethnicity and backgrounds. For me, it's the warm weather and closed by beaches and grocery stores. There's a good % of Asian Stores and Restaurants nearby.

    Lack of significant public transportation is a con in Irvine, you need a car to go everywhere in Irvine, not for anyone who doesn't drive their own car, the Metrolink doesn't have any stops in Irvine either but if you have your own reliable transportation then Irvine CA is fine

    Downsides?
    1. Racial diversity seems nonexistent
    2. Housing is insanely high in price
    3. Everything is overpriced
    4. Traffic on the 5 is stupidly packed with a ton of shitty drivers
    5. With crime being so low, cops will ticket you for the stupidest things
    Upsides?
    1. Good weather
    2. Variety of food options
    3. Beaches
    4. Spectrum shopping center
    5. Great delivery times and internet choices
    6. A ton of charging stations for EVs
    7. Many business centers for job opportunities
