Description
PRICED REDUCED TO SELL FAST! A RARE opportunity to own the only 4-Bedroom + Bonus Room condo in the highly desirable University Town Center area. No other property in this neighborhood offers this layout, making it truly One-of-a-Kind. Located in the top-ranked Irvine Unified School District, this renovated home is surrounded by some of Irvine’s best-performing schools —all within walking or biking distance. University High School is located across the street, consistently ranked among the top 3 high schools in Irvine and a recipient of the National Blue Ribbon & California Gold Ribbon School Awards. Turtle Rock Elementary, also ranked in Irvine’s top 3 elementary schools, is a short walk away & Rancho San Joaquin Middle School, another top performing school is nearby. IUSD school bus service is available to this address—a RARE advantage not offered to all residents. UC Irvine is just ¼ mile away & Concordia is only 2.5 miles down the road, offering strong appeal to families, faculty, or investors. Both the current & previous owners rented rooms to students, generating above-average rental income. This updated 2-story private end unit lives like a single-family home. The flexible floorplan includes 2 upstairs en-suite bedrooms, 2 downstairs bedrooms & 3 full baths. Upstairs bonus room w/built-in wardrobe cabinets provides additional flex space. Attached 2-car garage offers safe direct access, built-in storage & closets, attic space & laundry area. Large interior storage closet beneath the stairs for additional storage. The open-concept kitchen features a breakfast bar w/built-in cabinetry & newer stainless appliances (including a 5-burner gas stove w/removable griddle), flows into the dining area & private enclosed patio yard—ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or pets. Soaring ceilings, skylights & fresh interior paint create a bright, airy atmosphere thru-out. Additional upgrades include wood laminate floors, Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System, Central A/C & a Whole-house fan for energy-efficient cooling. Community amenities include 2 pools/spas, tennis & basketball courts & playgrounds. Mason Park, a 339-acre outdoor haven with lakes, hiking/biking trails & an amphitheater is located across from the community. Whether searching for a primary residence in a premier school district or a high-demand investment opportunity, this home delivers exceptional value. Homes like this are rarely available—and when they are, they don’t last.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchools should not be engaging students—especially middle school children—in political turmoil. Even though I personally may disagree with the current political climate, I do not believe it is appropriate for schools to encourage or allow children to protest issues they do not fully understand.Education should focus on teaching critical thinking, knowledge, and character—not promoting political bias or pushing the personal views of teachers or administrators. The world already has more than enough conflict; schools should be a place of learning and unity, not a starting point for more division.While the First Amendment protects freedom of speech, children are still developing emotionally and intellectually. Encouraging political protests at such a young age does not mean they truly understand the issues—it often means they are simply repeating what adults around them believe.Schools should educate, not indoctrinate.Parent Review4mo ago - University High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe had 2 children go to and excel at Uni in the ‘90’s.The first was The Valadictorian and was accepted to and went to Harvard. Our younger one went to and excelled at Cal/BerkeleyWe never had to worry about our kids and did not spend any $$$ on tutors.Thanks for the Great Education and most appreciative of the Faculty who made it easy for us to be successful parents.Parent Review2y ago - University Park Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExtremely disappointing experience.This school is completely unprofessional, starting from the principal down to the office staff. The way they treat special needs children is unacceptable — there’s a lack of empathy, understanding, and basic respect. It’s heartbreaking to see how these kids are treated like an inconvenience instead of being supported. Families who expect inclusion and care for their children deserve much better. I truly hope the administration takes this feedback seriously and improves their approach toward special education students.Parent Review7mo ago
