The easy access to multiple parks is very nice. This is not something that can be changed but I find the cul-de-sac within a bigger cul-de-sac structure of the area makes it much more difficult to learn the residential streets. Not having to move our cars for street sweeping is also a bonus. The higher speed limit is sometimes nice while driving but becomes a concern while a pedestrian.

I live in Irvine Ca, this place in California is very nice the atmosphere is great . It's not to hot nor too cold. The beaches are near. Most of the school in the area are walking distances from the different houses. If i had to choose to live in Irvine again i would do it because everything you need it close and in walking distance. Everything is just so nice in Irvine.
