Deal of the Week: A Home I'd Personally Buy in Irvine's Great Park

by Danae Aballi-Mecham

Every week I look for a listing worth talking about. This week, it's a home in Irvine's Great Park — just one house over from Bosque Park.

The Location: Bosque Park

Bosque Park isn't well-known yet, but it's a real gem. It spans over 50 acres, with lighted, 11-foot-wide paved paths and decomposed granite trails for anyone who'd rather skip the pavement. There are pedestrian undercrossings so you can cross busy streets without waiting on traffic. The playground is one of the best around for kids, with climbing structures, swings, and an in-ground trampoline. Add in 20 pickleball courts, shaded picnic tables, barbecues, and clean restrooms, and it's the kind of park that quietly makes a neighborhood.

Would I Buy It? Yes.

Here's why.

Most three-story homes make you use all three floors, every day. This one doesn't. The third floor is a bonus room — not a bedroom you're forced to use — so everyday living stays on the main two floors.

It was also just price reduced to $2,098,000, which puts it at $661/SF.

If I were buying today, this is the one I'd put an offer on.
