Real Estate Agent with Fred Sed Group ~ Your Premier Southern California Realtors CA BRE #01423187

The Northwood Community in Orange County California was first developed in the 1970’s by the Irvine Company and what makes this area unique compared to others in Irvine is that Northwood isn’t totally governed by a homeowners association although neighborhoods in the area like Park Place and Park Paseo do have their own homeowners associations and well maintained clubhouses plus community pools / spas that are big parts of communities in Irvine.

Northwood’s Origins

As one of Irvine’s oldest communities, Northwood was originally part of Irvine Ranch but the Irvine Family ended up giving away major chunks of their land to various employees or foremen over the years until the organized those parcels of land under one development which they named Northwood.

Northwood is well known for it’s eucalyptus trees that line the street in the area and also serve as a form of protection from the power of the Santa Ana Winds in the fall.

Area Demographics

Northwood has a total population of almost 6,0000 residents, homes in this area tend to be larger, single family homes that are situated on larger parcels compared to homes in other areas of Irvine. The average homeowner in this area tends to be in their 60’s and the earn a median income of almost $90,000 per year.

One of the best things about Northwood is that people tend to move here to stay. The average homeowner in the Northwood Community has been living there for over 10 years and there are plenty of condos and apartments in the area as well which have dedicated renters who stay for one to two years.

Recreation

Besides being close to everything in the Irvine area including shopping options like the Northwood Town Center, Northwood is also close to dozens of great parks including Brywood Park and Sycamore Park.

Irvine's first residential community was "University Park", which was developed by The Irvine Company and first homes built during 1968.

This was followed closely by "The Ranch", which was developed by other builders with homes built starting in 1968.
