Irvine vs Lake Forest vs Tustin 🏡 Which OC City Fits Your Lifestyle & Budget Best?

If you’re starting your Orange County home search in Irvine, you’re not alone — but Lake Forest and Tustin might surprise you. In this video, I compare all three cities based on real buyer experiences, schools, amenities, pricing, and those little quirks no one tells you about.

📍 Irvine: prestige, top schools, master-planned communities… but dense and $$$
📍 Lake Forest: more space, gated neighborhoods, newer builds, nature trails
📍 Tustin: character, variety, Old Town charm, and solid value near Irvine

Plus, I share stories from real buyers — like the one who canceled a $3.8M escrow in Irvine for a better fit in Tustin. Sometimes the best lifestyle upgrade is just a few minutes away.
