University Park - Irvine, CA

Area Guide

Share Guide

Sitting adjacent to the University of California, Irvine, the University Park neighborhood was the first neighborhood built in the master-planned city. Apartments and single-family homes dating back to the 1960s and 1970s fill the pleasantly-landscaped streets of this neighborhood. Pedestrian walkways and bikeways connect the entire neighborhood.

University Park offers more than meets the eye. Concealed from street view, a series of small parks filled with playgrounds and mature trees exist among the walkways. Meet up with friends and neighbors at University Community Park, the heart of the residential community. Here, you can enjoy a swim in the private community pool, or play a game of Ultimate Frisbee on the park's green space. Close proximity to UC Irvine gives local residents convenient access to concerts, public lectures, and theatrical performances hosted by the university.
