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.

Home to more than 317,000 residents, Irvine continues to stand out as a diverse, vibrant, and livable community — one thoughtfully master-planned for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.

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.
