Our Remarkable, Award-Winning Planned Community
Irvine has maintained its title as America’s “Safest Big City” for 20 years, according to FBI crime statistics. The city has also been recognized for having California's best park system and ranking among the happiest cities in the U. S. These accomplishments result from decades of meticulous planning focused on community and environmental health. Despite a population increase from 85,000 to over 315,000, Irvine preserves more than 10,000 acres of permanent open space.
Mayor Larry Agran's Urban Forest Master Plan aims to plant tens of thousands of trees to enhance air quality and provide shade. The City Council addresses traffic issues by expanding school bus services and constructing protected bike paths. A significant 96% of residents live within a 10-minute walk to a park, promoting outdoor activities. Such initiatives solidify Irvine’s reputation as a well-planned and desirable community.
