Rare hilltop single-family home for lease in Turtle Rock Terrace, one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Irvine. This property sits on an elevated 0.33 Acres ft lot near the top of the ridge and combines resort-style outdoor living, true privacy, and direct access to some of the best public schools in Southern California. LOCATION & SCHOOLS Located in [Community Name], a quiet, established hillside community in Irvine. Zoned for top-rated Irvine public schools, including University High School and University High School's IB / AP track. Families move into this area specifically for academic programs, college prep culture, and competitive placement. Close to UC Irvine (UCI), one of the highest-ranked public universities in California. This area is extremely popular for families with teens in top public high school pipelines, older kids attending UCI, visiting scholars, and international / executive placements. You are not commuting 30 minutes for school. You live in it. Walkable / bikeable access to top-tier public education and university resources (libraries, athletics, research, arts, events). VIEW & SETTING Absolute ridge-line position with no immediate crowding and almost no street noise. 180 unobstructed panoramic views: mountains in the foreground, the city grid and night lights below, and out toward Newport, Catalina Island, and the coastline in the distance. Sunset is a full-wall event. Floor-to-ceiling glass across the back of the home goes orange and gold every evening; after dark you get full city sparkle and actual stars overhead. RESORT BACKYARD Private full-size pool directly off the main living areas. This is true indoor-outdoor California living: open the sliders and you're poolside. Sunken conversation fire pit that easily seats 10+ people. Perfect for evenings with friends, looking out over the city lights. Built-in BBQ / grill zone for outdoor dinners. Oversized lot (~0.33 Acres) means you're not sharing walls, patios, or a "community pool." The entire outdoor experience is yours alone. INTERIOR LAYOUT 4 bedrooms / 2.5 bathrooms. Ideal for families, visiting relatives, in-home office space, or multigenerational living. Open living / dining / kitchen, all facing the pool and the view. You can cook, talk, and still watch the hills, skyline, and water. Large glass exposure across the back of the home means natural light from morning to sunset, every day. PRIMARY SUITE Primary bedroom has direct access to the backyard and pool. Step out of bed and into the water. From bed, you can watch the sun drop behind the ridge and see the sky turn red. At night, you get the city glow without ever leaving the room. LIFESTYLE Quiet, private, elevated. Daily routine feels like a weekend: swim, grill, sunset, fire pit. Space to host friends, space for kids/teens, space for extended family to visit and stay in comfort. Minutes from UC Irvine, top Irvine public schools, shopping, dining, parks, and canyon trails.
