Community living at one of Irvine's largest master development communities
Centered around an active lifestyle and the idea of community, Great Park is an elaborately planned neighborhood development in Irvine with heritage trees and various subdivisions built around the community’s parks. Serving as a centerpiece of the Great Park neighborhood, each park is a gathering place and connects the communities, residential homes and top-performing schools together with walking and biking paths. The Great Park Neighborhoods Community Association also organizes community events at the parks, including movie and concert series, seasonal socials and holiday celebrations as well as recreational organizations, including swim, compost, garden, fitness and culture clubs. “There will be a total of 10,000 homes when Great Park is finished, so there’s not another community like it in size. Residents have access to all the parks, clubhouses and the amenities are resort-style,” says Ronnie Hackett, Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway California Properties who is better known as part of the Ronnie & Cyrena Team, which has sold over 125 homes in the Great Park area while also providing property management services. “Another fantastic thing about living here is the walkability factor; everything is very close together and children can walk to schools.”
Residents can enjoy dried fruits and nuts at the Great Park Farmers Market.
There are plenty of baseball and softball diamonds at the Great Park for competition.
