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.

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.

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.

Methodology: How we got this data

Zumper’s proprietary rental data fuels our analysis. Rent and market trends, availability, neighborhood popularity, and lifestyle scores are all calculated using real-time and 2026 rental inventory and prices.

Our Lifestyle Categories ("great for eco-living," "great for social life," "great for pet owners," etc.) are determined by set criteria, against which we score each listing and its available features. At the neighborhood level, we calculate the listing count for each category to determine which lifestyles best fit each area.

Zumper, founded in 2012, is North America’s largest privately-owned rental platform, offering over 1 million listings across the U.S. and Canada. Stay informed on the latest trends and shifts in the rental market with our monthly National Rent Report, your go-to resource for key insights into the evolving rental landscape.
