    This is an excellent summary of the things that make Irvine so wonderful. For me, one thing I really loved, which this video alluded to, is the great number of running and biking paths through the city and to its neighboring cities like Newport Beach. You can run for miles and miles just on the bike paths alone, which I've done so many times. And if you have to run on streets, just about every street in Irvine, right down to the residential ones, have wide dedicated bike lanes that runners use also. Irvine is such a great place to live.

    Thank you so much for checking out the video! You're right...I have no idea how far the trails (especially the one between Jeffrey and Culver that runs through the neighborhoods) as they are quite long. We are definitely spoiled!

    I lived in Irvine for 4-5 years then left to Fullerton/Brea for 2 years now I’m headed back. Irvine is unrivaled it’s worth every penny. You can do so much and it’s so nice! Good for families , active lifestyle and shopping and dinning.

    Man I’m born and raised in Cali and have been living on and off in Texas primarily for 12 years. Basically my whole adulthood. I would travel to Cali twice a year and stay for 1-2 months during college breaks. But I’ve been here full time since right before the pandemic and I realize how much of a mental toll it’s taken on me. I have a great community here and things are looking up, but I feel a void in my heart from Cali. I never planned to never live independently in Cali as an adult. So I’m wondering if I should do grad school there to at least get it out my system and enjoy it while I’m still relatively young. Then move back to Texas when I’m done with my PhD. I never considered Irvine until literally today lol. I’m from LA.

    That's a beautiful drive. I recommend anything outside of major cities such as LA and SF. Orange County is my personal favorite because of its diversity and how clean and safe it is. Plus, you're close to LA and SD if you should need to go there. As far as NorCal, I can't speak to it as much, but definitely stay in the suburbs if you can. Best of luck!

    Great park is as of now is pretty much only good for the sports fields and some events. It’s been a boondoggle of a project. Irvine Regional park is a much more activities and nature to offer. Other big deal with the city are high tech jobs. Medical, Video Game and tech are huge industries here.

At the 24 hour fitness a Chinese man brought his one cup coffee maker to the bathroom to make a coffee so he did not have to buy one. A friend of mine works in a hotel in Irvine and has the grossest stories about them staying there.
