A short drive south of the Irvine Business Complex, Irvine Spectrum is anchored by the Irvine Spectrum Center shopping and entertainment district and surrounded by large apartment communities — Pacifica Place, The Village, The Park, Centerpointe, Westview, and Los Olivos among them — giving students far more unit choice than the streets immediately around campus.
Commute to campus
A short drive from Westcliff's campus; not realistically walkable given Irvine's spread-out layout.
Best for
Students who want more apartment options and price points and don't mind a short drive to Von Karman Ave.
