We recently purchased a home and need someone take over our current lease from September 2020 through the end of February 2021.

**NOTE** The landlord is currently looking to sell the home at the end of the lease. This is a great opportunity for those looking for short-term housing.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but due to COVID-19 and our busy work/moving schedule, we are limiting the number of people that can view the home in person to those that are seriously interested. If that's you, please go ahead and fill in an application as soon as possible and we'll get back to you quickly.

Thank you for understanding and thanks again for your interest!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood for over 35 years. Raise two kids with the help of a fabulous school system. The only real problem I have to complain about is Irvine Ranch Water District and their rates. Water is astronomical, we’ve all cut back crazily. And the city of Irvine just continues to add hundreds of homes every year. Doesn’t make any sense to me if we’re running out of water that they’re adding more homes to Orange County let alone Irvine."

    "Unique yes my neighborhood is very unique. Everyone who lives in our community are seniors. We have a great deal in common, life experiences and our diversity makes each of us unique. Since we all live in close quarters, we all look out for each other. It’s really a wonderful place to call home. "

    "My dog has made many doggy friends & is always eager to play with her friends. The community has what I would refer to as a doggy subculture since the dog's owners also develope friendships of their own. This is a very dog friendly community with lots of walking areas - both sidewalks & tons of community greenbelt areas to enjoy. Since the HOA provides doggie bags, clean & sanitary common grounds are promoted which all residents appreciate. "
