Award-winning schools within the neighborhood
The highly-rated Irvine Unified School District serves Northwood. Kids begin school at Northwood Elementary School before proceeding to California Gold Ribbon, winning Sierra Vista Middle School, both of which earned an A on Niche. Students will graduate from Northwood High School, which Niche gives an A-plus and ranks as the 18th-best college prep public high school in California.

Northwood’s plentiful parks
Northwood’s careful planning cultivated a neighborhood where homes are oriented around parks. With more than a dozen parks scattered throughout the neighborhood, it’s easy for residents to spend time outside. Central Northwood Community Park is a neighborhood hub. With more than 17 acres, the space has athletic fields, lighted sports courts, playgrounds, picnic shelters and a biking trail. The park’s Northwood Community Center facilitates education, events and activities. Residents can register for classes and teams like tennis lessons and the ping pong club. Like other planned neighborhoods in Irvine, plenty of smaller parks and open spaces spread across Northwood. Jeffrey Open Space Trail slips out of the neighborhood and winds 5 miles through the neighboring community. Close by, Hicks Canyon Trail features wide parallel paved and unpaved paths. Equestrians can access the trail as well.

Older homes retain value and popularity
Northwood streets have an inviting, navigable layout that welcomes leisurely strolls along the grid of sidewalks. The neighborhood is the only community not built by the Irvine Company, the area’s most significant developer. Northwood continues the spirit of independence, as it is not fully governed by a homeowners association. Most homes are Modern Traditional style with some Spanish influence, like stucco facades and red tile roofs. Buyers can find more contemporary styles, with brick and siding, but will not find newer homes. “Northwood is a great choice as it has lower taxes because the homes are older and it’s away from the central area of Irvine, which can get very crowded,” says Murray Falk, a local realtor who has lived in and sold in the area for decades. “The homes have a good value and are affordable compared to South Irvine, which is closer to Newport Beach.” The neighborhood is fully built out, leading to high demand. Homes sell from smaller $1.4 million dollar properties to $3 million homes with five or more bedrooms and multicar garages. Townhouses and condominiums are also available. Prices range from about $500,000 for smaller properties to just under $1 million for more spacious homes. Northwood encompasses The Groves, a resident-owned manufactured home community on about 70 acres. This guarded and gated neighborhood features a pool, spa, clubhouse and social activities. The manufactured homes range from $400,000 to $600,000.

Community organizations sponsor events

The city of Irvine’s community services unit offers events and classes in musical theater, dance, fitness and more through Northwood Community Park. Northwood is home to two major houses of worship: Our Lady of Peace Korean Catholic Center and The Islamic Center of Irvine. In addition to regular mass services, Our Lady of Peace hosts classes and events celebrating the Catholic faith and inviting community. The Islamic Center of Irvine hosts prayer services and classes.

Easy highway access and commuting
Murray Falk says walkability is one of Northwood’s appeals. “Some streets have a tunnel or walkway that goes under the street crossings for extra safety,” he says. “Shopping such as grocery stores, restaurants, and cleaners are within very close walking distance.” Getting around by car is also easy. The Santa Ana Freeway borders Northwood, so residents can easily pull onto one of Irvine’s main thoroughfares. Irvine’s city center is only six miles away and can typically be reached in 15 minutes. A little further west, Newport Beach is only 10 miles away.
Northwood offers a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments.
