A peaceful setting for a master-planned community in Irvine
On the outskirts of eastern Irvine, the master-planned community of Portola Springs offers resort-style amenities like crystal clear pools, spas and lighted tennis courts in a quiet atmosphere. The area’s serenity is reflected in its CAP Index Crime Score: a 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4. "Portola Springs is relatively secluded, and made up of several mini neighborhoods,” says Sharon Kao, a Realtor with Pacific Sterling Realty. “Each one is designed and constructed by different builders, all very reputable.” With an isolated feel from the rest of Irvine, the community of Portola Springs brims with luxury as well as privacy.

Recreation at Limestone Canyon Nature Preserve, Portola Springs Community Park and more
Directly north of Portola Springs, Limestone Canyon Nature Preserve offers access to the Santa Ana Mountains with miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. The area’s most acclaimed red rock formation is The Sinks, often described as a small version of the Grand Canyon.

Within the neighborhood, there are many footpaths and bikeways that weave between nine parks. The popular 32-acre Portola Springs Community Park offers pickleball courts, soccer fields, a playground and a picnic pavilion. The park’s Portola Springs Community Center is a reservable space ideal for large events like parties and weddings.
