Hello all. My husband just got a job near Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley. I work near the 5 and Tustin Ranch.
I was hoping for some advice on Irvine (or Fountain Valley) neighborhoods that would optimize our commute, and also have good schools. Our kids are in elementary, and we would be looking for a detached SFR--we can go up to $1m if we have to, though it'd be nice to stay lower.
Just based on the map, there seem to be so many different neighborhoods on the route that I'm not sure where to start. So I think a suggestion from someone with local knowledge would be helpful.
We've been renting in West Irvine and we love its proximity to shopping, the Katie Wheeler Memorial Library, and the park. Staying there is certainly a possibility. With my husband's new job, though, both of our jobs are to the East--it makes more sense to live between them if we can, and avoid extra time on Jamboree in rush hour.
Many thanks!
