    Where to live in Irvine?

    reviing old thread- is El camino real thaaaaat bad. for current residents - how are you liking/hating it? i know its older but no meloroos or hoa seems like a huge plus to me. Aside from lacking the normal irvine curb appeal - is there a compromise in regards to safety/crime?
