An opulent master-planned community

The lap of luxury, Orange County's Quail Hill is a master-planned village complemented by the natural beauty of the coastal hills. Land preservation and improvement is a priority in the Irvine community, and an expansive preserve makes up much of the area's acreage. Many homes have landscaping designed to coexist with the surrounding habitat, and its planned aesthetics fit the Mediterranean climate with Spanish-style architecture. Quail Hill’s resort lifestyle offers convenience and grandeur in its amenity-filled community center, Olympic-sized pools and massive outdoor shopping center.

Abundant outdoor recreation

With five parks, the Quail Hill village has everything needed for an active lifestyle. Many residents hike at the Irvine Open Space Preserve. “You also have access to some great trails, which run all the way to Crystal Cove State Park. You could actually hike all the way from the neighborhood to Laguna Beach, if you have the energy,” says Realtor Lucy Di Profio, who has over three decades of experience in the area and works with Re/Max Premier Realty. The Quail Hill Trailhead is the only dog-friendly trail in the preserve. It leads to scenic landscapes, including fields of flowers and grassy coastal hills, where hikers can see wildlife from rattlesnakes to roadrunners. Quail Hill Community Park has a community center with multiple rooms for programs and events as well as an exercise room. The outdoor part of the park includes sports courts and fields, barbecue grills and picnic tables. Also onsite, the Rocks & Ropes Playground features rock and log-shaped structures made of rubber and concrete-sandstone. At Strawberry Farms Golf Club, residents can play on a scenic public 18-hole course surrounding a reservoir.

An expansive strip mall

At Quail Hill Shopping Center, residents can find everyday essentials and much more. “The shopping in the neighborhood is incredibly convenient,” Di Profio says. Located in the northwest corner of the neighborhood, the strip mall has an Albertsons grocery store, a CVS pharmacy and a gas station. It also has endless dining possibilities. For fish delivered daily from Japan and a modern atmosphere, residents can visit O Fine Japanese Cuisine. The Irvine Grill, a bright white eatery ideal for lunches, is the spot for kabobs and other Persian specialties. Nalu's Hawaiian Fish Grill & Tutu's Kitchen prepares its health-conscious menu in a wood plank interior.
