Suburban living in a premier Irvine community

Situated by the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains, Northwood Pointe is a master-planned, gated Irvine community comprised of 12 subdivisions. As many companies take up offices and headquarters in Irvine, the once citrus grove, farmland community has transformed into an exclusive development that provides residents with privacy and convenience. “One reason being it’s zoned for one of the best schools in the district,” says Martin Mania, a Realtor at KW Spectrum Properties with 17 years of experience while servicing Irvine, Tustin, Newport Beach and Lake Forest areas. With top-performing schools and city parks within walking distance, shopping and entertainment venues close by as well as a CAP Index score of 1 out of 10, Northwood Pointe is a highly sought-after suburban community in Orange County.

Residential homes in gated communities

Primarily built within the last several decades, residential homes in Northwood Pointe are often inspired by the English cottage style or designed with Mediterranean and Spanish influence, including stucco exteriors and terra cotta-colored tile roofs. Single-family properties may list between $1.5 million and over $3 million, with yards that range from 4,000 to 9,000 square feet. Backyard pools are common, and landscaping is usually well-kept with thoughtful design. Attached two-bedroom condominium units start at around $750,000, while single-family detached condos can fetch $1.5 million, and townhouses are generally around $1 million. “Most of the communities are gated and the Homeowner Association fee is relatively reasonable compared to other areas in Irvine,” Mania says. “The houses are fairly traditional with a Spanish twist.”
