Neighborhood 4 and avocado groves
As part of the long-term master-planning for the area, residents of North Irvine will notice changes to the avocado grove that currently occupies portions of the Neighborhood 4 site. Residents may also notice the planting of new trees in the area in the coming months.

Here’s what’s happening:
As part of the Neighborhood 4 construction, crews are currently removing this grove. This particular grove has been underproductive for more than a decade and does not have long-term viability. These new avocado trees will maintain and enhance the area’s agricultural and aesthetic charm.

Irvine Company remains committed to sustainable farming and planning in North Irvine. And in the next one to two years, almost 10,000 new avocado trees will be planted in more viable areas in the area. Additionally, about 3,000 new trees will be planted as part of this new Orchard Hills neighborhood. Overall, there will be an increase of trees within the city as part of this process.
