The City of Irvine has once again been recognized as the “Best City to Live In” by readers of The Orange County Register, earning the honor for an impressive 11th consecutive year.

Over just the past year, Irvine was named the ‘Safest Big City in America’ for the 21st consecutive year and was ranked as having California’s No. 1 park system. The City also began building a 700-acre nature preserve, announced that a new professional baseball franchise would come to the Great Park next summer, and began construction on restaurants, museums, botanical gardens, and Veterans Memorial Park at the Great Park.

Irvine residents are seeing their paychecks outpace inflation faster than those in nearly any other major U.S. city, according to a recent study by financial technology company SmartAsset.

The City also stands out for its high-earning households, giving Irvine the third-highest share in the nation

The Irvine City Council has approved a five-year agreement with Innovation Baseball Partners (IBP) to bring a professional baseball team to the Great Park Championship Baseball Stadium beginning next summer.

Community organizations and local teams, including the OC Riptide summer collegiate baseball team, will continue to have access to the stadium.

On August 11th, hundreds of cyclists, walkers, and four-legged companions crossed the I-5 Freeway as the new Jeffrey Open Space Trail (JOST) Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge officially opened.

Made possible in part by $14.5 million in state funding, the bridge represents another step toward Irvine’s vision of an interconnected trail system that could eventually stretch from the Pacific Ocean to the Santa Ana Mountains and Cleveland National Forest.
