The Houses
In Irvine we mostly see village stucco under tile, condos and apartments, with metal or gas fireplaces.
Weather and Season
Dry winter gusts can tug at a cap and move embers around, even in a planned village. Salt is moderate here compared with the beachfront. Regional quakes such as La Habra are felt in Irvine, and no-burn days limit wood fires in winter.
Same Drive
Lake Forest, Turtle Rock, Laguna Woods sit on the same stretch of road, so a visit there often shares the day with Irvine.
