University Park is a green neighborhood next to UC Irvine
Highlighted by an established master-planned community, University Park and Town Center offers an array of convenience in an attractive Orange County location. “It’s one of the most popular areas in Irvine because of its proximity to top schools and the University of California-Irvine, as well as to a lot of parks and the freeway,” says Nancy Aynehchi, a Realtor with First Team Real Estate. University Park is one of the oldest communities in Irvine, and actually predates its incorporation as a city. University Park began as a way to attract residents after plans were announced for the UC-Irvine campus in the early 1960s. University Park was designed around an innovative pedestrian greenway system, in which a network of landscaped pathways links individual neighborhoods and community amenities, including schools, parks and shopping centers. Residents also have access to convenient travel in and out of the community via Interstate 405, which forms the north side of University Park.
