Known for being like a "bubble" with a rich neighborhood and little to no crime, it's one of the safest cities in the US.
It has a few different neighborhoods, such as Woodbridge and Oak Creek.
Oak Creek is smaller and has Pine Trees everywhere. I think it's called that way because it's nearby the San Diego creek, which isn't really as much of a creek and more of a way to avoid flash floods (all the rain channels into there). Most of the time there's hardly any water there bc it never rains and we almost always have perfect weather.
Woodbridge is nearby the North and South lake and is where I live currently. It's nice because it's nearby the Woodbridge center which has a nice view of the lake and good boba. All of the high schoolers from Woodbridge High and middle schoolers from Lakeside Middle go there after school and drink boba.
Then there's the apartments nearby Spectrum center... aka Irvine-Company-Land. Irvine company is basically mass-producing these gross beige apartments all with a somewhat Spanish building style everywhere, at in incredibly fast rate. Spectrum center is nice though with a ferris wheel, movie theater, and a lot of nice clothing stores and restaurants. It's one of the few places where people still played pokemon go because of the large number of pokestops and gyms and also has a good boba place which replaced Casey's Cupcakes.
Also the whole city is like super close by to LA, the beach, disneyland, and a lot of other popular places in California.
"You live in Irvine? Don't you know that the whole city is run by Irvine Company and if you have an even somewhat interesting colored house or a gazebo in your backyard without a permit you can get in trouble???"
An affluent city located in Southern California and apart of affluent Southern Orange County. Irvine is a beautiful city with clean streets, beautiful scenery, well mannered people and a safe city, one of the safest in the US. Irvine is nicknamed "the bubble" because of its secure, safe neighborhoods, and leaving Irvine in Irvine language is considered "leaving the bubble" because other cities don't have the the safest streets and areas like King Irvine. Irvine is "too safe" in alot of people's opinions and is known to be a cop infested city where you have to watch yourself from getting got by the cops. Irvine is not for everyone, But overall Irvine is a beautiful affluent city in Southern California.

This Refers To The Town Of Irvine In Scotland. This Is A Guide For Anyone Who Has Never Been To Irvine Before. Irvine Is A Small Town With Several Smaller Areas In It:
Town Centre: Home To Most Of The Towns Homeless People. Most Notably "Wullie Socks" Notorious Stealer Of Wallets And Junkie Extrordinare. There Is a Mall Full Of Shops That Are Shutting Down And Also The Magnum "Leisure" Centre. The Goth Kids Can Usually Be Found Down Town.
Springside: Shitehole Of Irvine. Neds, Neds And More Neds. Most Of The Houses Have Lovely Metal Shutters Over The Windows And Most Of The Woman Are Pregnant At Fifteen. Home Of The Notorious Springside Young Team. Avoid This Area At All Costs. Dont Look Anyone In The Eyes.
Boutreehill: This Area Can Be Divided Into To Smaller Areas, Due To Both Gangs From Each Place Fighting Each Other. Lets Start With Cafe, The Dirtier Of The Two Areas. Cafe Seems To Have A Huge Cannabis Cloud Just Floating Above The Buildings. Full Of Jakes. Now On To Village, Slightly Cleaner Still Dirty. Not As Bad As Most Places In Irvine. Truth Be Told Its Actually Alright Apart From The High Level Of Neds.
Lawthorn/Percton: The Poshest Place In Irvine. Also The Most Boring. Everyones Grass Is Just The Right Length And Noone Does Anything The Police Would Frown Upon. Extremely Anal. No Neds Or Goths Here. Just Rich Kids. Their Not Bad People Though.
Girdle Toll: Very Average Place. A Shop, A Young Team, Some Goths. Nothing Special Or Different About It. Not As Bad As Springside Or As Good As Percton/Lawthorn. Its Just Like A Less Intresting Version Of Dreghorn.
Dreghorn: Probably The Best Area Of Irvine. Which Is A Bit Like Sayin Its The Best Spice Girl, It Means Nothing. Recomend The Dairy, Very Good Chips. Not To Many Neds Or Goths. Just Normal Kids. Not Bad.
Broomlands: A Bit Like Cafe. Again A Bit Of A Shitehole. Absoloutley Nothing To Do In This Area.
Irvine Is, In Short, A Very Average Place. Theres Nothing Differnet About It. I Personally Wouldnt Recomend A Visit. However, The People Arent That Bad. And If You Do Visit Irvine You Have To Meet Wullie Socks, He Is A Legend. Thats About It Really Just Remember Dont Look Anyone In The Eyes.
Irvine is very precious. He is worth way more than all the gems, gold, and treasures that anyone can find in the world.
Irvine loves his family and friends dearly, fiercely, and will do anything for them. Irvine is a wonderful person. He is amazing, kind-hearted, compassionate, tough, and loving. After everything that he has been through, he is still standing strong and he always perseveres. He is a warrior, a fighter, and a very wise and intelligent man with honourable morals. He can be the best teacher, a great friend, and a role model you can have. Whoever has him in their lives is truly blessed. Irvine deserves all the appreciation and love in the world. His existence is a huge blessing.
Please appreciate Irvine and all that he has done for you. It is so rare have an angel like him in your life.
pretty much the best place to live. kids are spoiled, not really brats, but they always want to get out, and they have no idea what its like to be outside of the bubble. youd think they would because theyre rich (most of them) and travel, but they dont.
A strange city located in Orange County, CA. Amazingly bland, boring, and lifeless. A nightmarishly "safe" suburb. Recreational activities include, and are limited to: jogging, bike riding, and walking your dog. 100% culture free, 100% personality free. The one exception of Irvine's "safeness" are the roads; the roads in Irvine are very dangerous due to the fact that a large portion of the drivers are asian ricer boyz who can't see.
The city of Irvine is owned and run by the greedy Irvine Company, one of the richest and most powerful real estate developers in the nation. It is all about money. There are NO environmentalists in charge. The voices of the city council all reflect Irvine Company policy because you cannot get elected without their support. Hills and natural lands being bulldozed now at record speed, in the top ten for new home starts in the nation right now. That is Irvine. They are now developing high density apartment complexes in addition to the miles of tract homes going in. The commercial building going on has got to be seen to be believed and yet that will be slowing because of the revenue that residential property taxes generate and will generate in the future if Irvine Company lobbying in Sacramento is successful in removing our Prop. 13 protections. When concerns about power and water are brought up, their answer is "There will be enough." Well, tell that to people dealing with rolling blackouts or the years of drought we've had.
I live just across the border, in LagunaHills, and my concerns about this unimpeded growth, concerns about the water and power for the thousands of people the Irvine Company is building homes for everday and the impact to the area have been ignored. In fact all building seems to have increased in speed, perhaps to get it all built before the rest of the state wakes up to their greed. After all, their greed for resources affects the whole state.
Irvine is located in California. Once you leave you can't get back in, because that's a rule in Irvine. Irvineโs slogan- "Youโre either with us, or against us." Also, it is populated by mainly Christian, Catholic and Mormon individuals, who every now and then will try and get you to convert to their religion.
The city itself is one of the safest in the nation, because the police here are amazingly anal. You roll a stop sign at two miles an hour, and your ass is grass. They are also have some unbelievable vendetta against Asians, some of whom are from foreign countries and have only been in the U.S. for a few months, or were alive during the Vietnam War era, where seeing a person in a uniform meant that you were usually screwed, and whom panic at the sight of a police officer. The police are so dumb that they donโt recognize this, and arrest the person for not following one of their commands.
Also, the cops really hate teens. I donโt know why this is; they just have some thing against teens, especially drivers. Itโs unreal.
Its population of Asians is rising, (which makes the police vendetta toward them a bit more perplexing) which is good, maybe it will get the cops to stop being such assholes towards them.
Nothing happens here. Itโs rather amazing really. At 10 PM everyone is inside watching the local news or sleeping. The only things I read about are the marijuana busts, and when ever something big happens most reporters have trouble finding the city. The worst thing thatโs happened in the city is the guy who went bonkers at an Albertsons and started attempting to kill people with a samurai sword. Because of the lack of action, the cops are buff. They spend WAY to much time at Bally Total Fitness.
Irvine is home to Irvine Meadows, now Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, a decent place to watch concerts. But, honestly thatโs about the only good thing about it.
