Irvine is one of the best places to live in the States. Very well planned city. Most importantly, it feels safe here. When it comes to travel, public transport could be a bit of a hassle. But you can travel by OC bus or Anteater express. If you live on campus, you don't need to worry about travel as most schools are nearby.

Neighborhood is awesome, have a golf course nearby. a really great trail nearby for walking, running.
Grocery store like Ralphs is nearby. also few bars and restaurants are nearby on a 20 minutes walk distance.

It's great to live at UTC as a student, there's always a lot of people studying and many food shops in the shopping center to study at.

It is near to a lot of plazas and other residences. People walk their dogs around the neighborhood so it is very safe.

no problems with the neighborhood
(just a lot of undergrads in the area, as long as you're okay with that)

it's close to UTC and to a lot of Asian food and groceries though, so that's been really great

I have no complaints about the neighborhood. Clean, safe, and is technically on campus.

You are very close to everything, There is the UCI shuttle you can take and you will have access to Albertsons across Campus Plaza. It is very accessible to the nearby locations.
