Irvine Housing Blog

Thanks for the write-up, IR! Whenever I think “Westpark,” I just sort of shutter. What once looked like fresh yellow stucco, has now yellowed further into rotten corn bread. But, I’m seeing that there are some actually solid houses (I think price per sqft for the mansions is significantly lower than surrounding neighborhoods), and some great amenities as well. “Aisle” have to give Westpark a chance when the time comes.

Nice… Westpark works.  No major traffic kinks, and it has the retail that most people need.

Nice profile!  Reminded me of why I picked Westpark when we made the move to Irvine two years ago.  While it is certainly lacks some wow factor of other neighborhoods, it covers all the basics very well—- many of which you hit on in this profile. Great central location to all that Irvine offers, all the shopping you ever need at your doorstep, lots of parks and recreation opportunities (I think you forgot to mention Bill Barber Park)—yet it is very quiet and does not feel congested at all.  Thanks, IrvineRenter for reminding me how happy I am with this neighborhood. TIC can keep their Orchard Hills and PS way out there in the boonies, I think I’ll take the family for a walk to some open houses in Westpark this afternoon!

beautiful pictures! I love that area, very suburban and woodsy, makes you appreciate california living.

Great profile definately a nice area.  I noticed the only office building—my Opthamologist Dr. Barbara Sheng who I just saw last week is there.

definitely my least favorite area of Irvine.  Pink buildings, tract homes, hot in the summer.  Still overall a nice, safe place to live.

It is nice to be featured twice.

I added some additional pictures and fixed a minor technical glitch. The series of pictures on the “little pink houses” was added because without it, you don’t really get a feel for Westpark.

I appreciate the time and the effort you dedicate to this website.

Is Paseo Westpark different from Westpark in terms of communities?  My cousin lives in Westpark and we went to play tennis and their keys only opened Westpark courts south of Barranca.  They told me everything North of Barrance was part of the Paseo Westpark community.

I always thought that there was only 1 westpark.

IrvineRenter,

When I worked in NPB, my wife and I used to meet for lunch in Westpark at San Carlo park… there is access there to the wonderful San Diego Creek path from Barranca (I think) all the way to NPB.  We had a lot of fun there walking our dog along the path, looking at the various birds that live in the Channel.  Maybe you could update with some pictures?  It is one of the hidden gems of Irvine.
