Walnut is a commuter-friendly Irvine suburb
Many factors go into buying a home: how much your mortgage will be, how much square footage you want, what amenities you need and, of course, location, location, location. For home buyers who work in Los Angeles but want to live in Orange County, the Walnut neighborhood in northeast Irvine might be the place to find a satisfying compromise. "You can get a lot more house here than you can in LA. And if you work in downtown LA or Pasadena, the commute to and from here wouldn't be too bad," says Matt Tilley, Realtor with First Team Realty and "The British Bloke" on his real estate YouTube Channel.
Irvine’s annual Studio Arts Festival has celebrated creativity for over 30 years.
Walnut homes frequently feature mature trees and lush landscaping.
Studio Arts Festival showcases works by more than 100 local artists.

Spanish-style suburban homes and condos
You'll find mostly 1970s-era bungalows with meticulously maintained stucco exteriors in Walnut, but you can also find newer, larger, more contemporary homes with Spanish-style influences like barrel tile roofs and domed windows.

Sidewalks are plentiful, providing the ideal location for walks around the neighborhood with family or friends. Prices range from $920,000 for 1,200 square feet to $2.2 million for 3,300 square feet. If you’re looking for a home with a bit less upkeep, you’ll find town houses and condos throughout the area, with prices ranging from $660,000 for 900 square feet to $1.1 million for 2,100 square feet.
