There are a generous handful of reasons why Irvine real estate, in "the Best of Everything city", has a healthy growth and success rate. Irvine real estate is some of the prime valued property, both commercially and residential, in all of the USA. This Southern California city of 250,385 people (2015 most recent U.S. Census), has been receiving major awards for the past, 46-years since Irvine was formally incorporated.
Irvine's Mission Statement: "to create and maintain a community where people can live, work, and play in an environment that is safe, vibrant, and aesthetical pleasing," truly sums up what Irvine has been up to since its inception in the 1960's.
Seriously, though, the Irvine real estate market has been rapidly improving in the past two months, and some of this hype might have a little to do with it. The Irvine business sector is still having a significant global influence with regards to the job market.

One year ago, homes on the market in Irvine had a total inventory of 510 residential properties. Irvine is probably about to receive another "Best of Award", because this year in just two months, there are another 489 homes available for interested buyers! The number of sold homes? 39,456 residences including single-family homes, townhouses, and condos sold.
This premium engineered and modern designed, pre-planned community began with educational considerations as its top priority. From pre-school to University, every amenity, every expense, and every innovation have been addressed. Home to the University of California, Irvine, Irvine Valley College, USC Brandman University, Concordia University, Stanbridge College, Southern California University Fullerton, the O.C. Center of the University of Southern California, Kaplan, Pepperdine U, Webster, and the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising are all well-established award-winning higher education facilities. This number of institutions of higher learning in themselves should earn Irvine the rep as a college town-city, except, there are so many other key features that consistently compete for top billing.
Add to this the numerous pre-schools, K-6, middle schools, high schools, and specialized educational facilities, and it is evident that the minds of Irvine youth are being equipped and prepared for a bright future.

When Irvine host's it's annual Global Village Festival at the ill Barber Park on September 24, 2016, they'll start with the "Kids' Village" and move on to every imaginable multicultural event, so expect a flood in the local International Marketplace! As always the "Legacy of Irvine" will be celebrated with exceptional International Cuisine, sponsorship opportunities, and a Gala for all types of diversity in skill, music, art, creativity, ingenuity, and challenges of the heart, soul, and intellect.
Being a densely populated area, the masterminds of city planning have developed a way to electronically monitor the changes in traffic throughout the day, and continuously auto-reset street lights to avoid bottlenecks and traffic tie-ups throughout the local communities. A much higher evolved plan than many freeway drivers who fantasize about lasers shooting down from the sky to dissolve traffic jams in much the same way physicians use lasers to dissolve dangerous blood clots in the human venous system. At any rate, do not avoid the hub of cultural activity that will once again descend upon the Irvine neighborhoods this fall.
There are many local natural environments to seek and explore. Irvine residents have access to convenient spots for quick trips and opportunities to connect with other nature lovers. In the 300-acre wild wetlands of the San Joaquin Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary, there are diverse homes for populations of over 100 species of birds. The Arboretum is freckled all over with specific types of man-made and naturally occurring habitats, featuring preferences of materials and size of birdhouses to accommodate Irvine's feathered residents.
Physically minded explorers can co-adventure with family, friends, or co-workers, through miles of high-interest hiking trails.

The people of Irvine have essentially adopted the Mediterranean diet, adding lots of different spice combinations to replace salt, a plethora of colorful and tasty veggies that often create hearty meals that do not require meat proteins, fruits and blended juice drinks, natural fresh herbs, as well as a whole new class of grains and nut product combos. Most ingredients can be picked up at the local Farmer's Markets or Organic Grocers.
Similarly, the local restaurants have raised the mark on nutrient-rich foods, focusing on the value of farm-to-table freshness and innovative salad combinations with unexpected dressings and vinaigrettes. After this lunch, it's a wonder people come back to work at all!
In addition, workout facilities are competing for memberships and results. No longer is exercise a boring repetition of muscle group actions to ridiculous music renditions on tape. There are as many forms of classes and challenges as there are music venues. Sultry out-of-doors yoga classes are enhanced by ocean views and sounds, muscle burning challenges and medicinal cleanses bring the body back to peak performance. Often the business centers of Irvine welcome these facilities in their buildings to encourage employee bodies and minds to complete that balance each day, enhancing creative and alert thinking. "Be, Irvine, be the Best!"
