Turtle Rock is a hillside neighborhood located in the southern portion of the City of Irvine, near Concordia University and the University of California, Irvine.

Each neighborhood offers its own community pool and facilities. Additionally, there are many single level homes on large lots and the community offers low property taxes with no Mello Roos!

You can expect to see people walking, jogging and biking through the community trails on a daily basis. It is also known for its excellent schools, including the award-winning Turtle Rock Elementary School, Bonita Canyon Elementary School and University High School, which consistently rank among the best in the state.
