Irvine,
California
Irvine is a planned community of more
than 121,000 people, located in Orange County and only eight miles from the
Pacific Ocean. Home to the University of California campus, Irvine is a
combination of residential communities and headquarters for many growing
technology companies. The city's business centers, hotels, restaurants and
retail centers are easily accessible by freeway, John Wayne Airport and Orange
County's
two new transportation corridors. While
it has been rated as one of the best cities in California in which to do
business, Irvine has also been rated by Parents Magazine as one of the best
cities in America to raise a family. The FBI has also rated it one of the
safest cities in the nation. Housing development is booming in Irvine and the
surrounding south Orange County area, with a full range of options for all
needs. In addition to the UCI campus, community colleges and the local school
districts offer highly ranked
 |
educational opportunities. Nature
preserves, wilderness parks, and bike trails cover over 20 square miles, and
there is a 433 acre system of community and neighborhood parks. The Orange
County Performing Arts Center, a world-class theater for dance, music and
international performances, is located nearby in Costa Mesa. You can enjoy a
variety of recreational activities including sailing, theater, concerts,
professional sports, museums, golfing, and theme parks. A short drive takes you
to the mountains for skiing, snowboarding, and adventurous hiking. Whether at
work or leisure, there is always plenty to do in Orange County.
