I would live here again, it is a very safe place to live with many opportunities and I have been able to receive an excellent education. The only problem with this area is that there is lots of construction because so many people want to move to Irvine.

There are hardly ever any crimes, and when there are, if there is a threat to our safety we are warned and there is generally a good police presence which tends to deter crime. When there is a crime police respond quickly and in force.
