It’s a nice area in the heart of Irvine.

“These are large, mature eucalyptus trees”
says he with a scrawny sapling front and centre.
It does look like a nice place to live.
Another nice benefit of The Ranch is that these large homes and lots can be had for a reasonable price, compared to the rest of Irvine.
I was under the impression that in Irvine, a village is a collection of neighborhoods that are usually within close proximity to a “village center.” Given that, I always believed that The Ranch was part of El Camino Real. I recall looking at a map online wherein ECR was bounded by Irvine Center Drive, the 5 Freeway, Culver, and Jefferey. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also I want to say that I enjoy reading your profiles - when are you going to do one on Northwood? One of Irvine’s original villages, developed on land actually NOT owned by the Irvine Co., and IMHO one of its most suburban in every sense of the word (e.g., green, pretty, and kinda dull).
