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.

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.
