One of the hottest communities in the Irvine area has recently been the Laguna Altura area.  There seems to be a big buyer demand for homes in this community that are priced under $1.5 million dollars.  As you probably know, inventory throughout the Irvine area has been very limited with only a few number of homes coming on to the market compared with the large buyer demand that we are currently seeing.  This is especially true for single family homes priced under $1 million dollars which seems to be one of the most sought after requests that we have been getting.  We commonly see homes in this price range in the Northwood, El Camino Real, Oak Creek, University Park, Woodbridge and Walnut areas.  Many of these are homes are selling after being on the

One of the more difficult places to find a home in Irvine is the Harvard gated community.  The neighborhood has a really great location where the 5 and 261 freeways meet and just off the Culver Drive exit.  It's definitely not the cheapest place to live in Irvine as many of the homes are listed well above the one million dollar price point.  What makes this area unique is that many of the over 800 homes located here were built about 20 years ago or so and still have the look and feel of a newer community.  These are two story single family homes with attached garages and large front and backyards.  Many love living here since it's located in the highly sought after Irvine School District.
