Best Places to Live 022 Irvine, CA

Best Places to Live Money's list of America's best small cities
22. Irvine, CA

Top 100 rank: 22
Population: 208,000
Compare Irvine to Top 10 Best Places


Welcome to one of the most educated towns in America. This diverse Orange County community, which ranked No. 4 on MONEY's Best Places to Live list in 2008, was founded in the 1960s when the University of California's Irvine campus was built.

The university is still the town's largest employer, but others, including Broadcom, have moved in. Given California's massive budget problems, which threaten university funding, that's a good thing.

Irvine is working on a 225-acre reconstruction of the Orange County Great Park that, when completed, will include sports fields, museums, and other entertainment areas. --B.D.

Grand Canyon Calendar 2010


The Grand Canyon is 446 km long, up to 29 km wide and in some places 1.8 km deep. It is so wide that you don’t perceive it as a one single canyon – with an opposite side visible somewhere far away on horizon, it looks more like a huge valley cut by numerous canyons.
