Northwood is a quiet, rather pristine neighborhood. The loudest parts being those accelerating off the 5 freeway and nearby Trabuco Road. Within our community are a diverse set of families, with children of all ages as well as pets, mainly dogs and cats.

Northwood Courtside and Glen in Irvine CA, 92620 are communities filled with a bunch of pathetic losers with nothing else better to do but harass nice, quiet families. They do this to feel better about themselves. There is a huge "Keeping up with the Joneses" mentality here. These people love the attention on them and are very self-absorbed. However, their reality is that they live in the bowels of Irvine. Biggest bunch of losers I have ever encountered. Waste of humanity.
