Learn more about renting in Irvine, CA

Boasting a picturesque setting between Loma Ridge and the San Joaquin Hills in Southern California's Orange County, Irvine is a masterfully planned city with a residential population of a little under 225,000 people. Having been ranked as one of "America's Safest Big Cities" every year since 2005, the city's family-friendly reputation is nothing if not well deserved, but the awards and recognition don't stop there. People have described Irvine as one of the best places to live in the U.S., the best-run city in the U.S., one of the fastest growing U.S. cities, and a top 10 for startups.

Awards and recognition are certainly welcome, but the real appeal of this popular California city lies in its friendly communities and safe streets, its extensive selection of amenities and its wealth of opportunities. Residents of Irvine enjoy a fabulous location – one that allows them to relax at sun drenched Newport Beach one day and enjoy an invigorating hike through the Limestone Canyon Regional Park the next. It's the kind of city where you can find meaningful work in education, health care, technology, and science, yet enjoy down time at popular California attractions, including Knott's Berry Farm, the Turtle Rock Nature Center, and Disneyland.
