Orchard Hills is known for its canyon views, rolling hills, and preserved landscapes that make it feel different from many other Irvine neighborhoods.
The name comes from Orange County’s history of citrus orchards and agricultural land before Irvine became a modern master-planned city.
Many residents choose the area because of its peaceful atmosphere and lower-density layout.
