Northwood is one of Irvine's original and largest villages, covering a wide residential footprint north of the 5 Freeway with 69 home tracts, approximately 5,600 detached single-family homes, and 2,000 attached condominiums and townhomes across nearly 80 floor plans. Homes were primarily built in the 1970s with mature eucalyptus-lined streets, and the sub-community of Northwood Pointe offers newer construction from the 1990s within a gated setting. Prices range from $1.2 million to $2 million, making this the strongest value-per-square-foot proposition in the city for buyers prioritizing space and school access.
