How much are HOA fees in Woodbridge, Irvine?

Woodbridge homeowners pay a monthly Woodbridge Village Association (WVA) master HOA assessment that covers the lakes, pools, parks, paths, courts, and community facilities. Owners of condos and townhomes also pay a separate sub HOA that typically covers building exterior items such as roofing, siding, and common area landscaping. Single family homes in Woodbridge usually pay only the master WVA assessment. Exact dues vary by tract and home type and change over time, so always request current HOA statements during your escrow review.

Can I short term rent or Airbnb a home in Woodbridge?

No. The City of Irvine prohibits short term rentals under 30 days citywide, so Airbnb style stays are not legal in Woodbridge or anywhere else in Irvine, regardless of HOA rules. Buyers planning to use a property for short term vacation rental income should look outside Irvine. Long term rentals over 30 days are permitted subject to HOA documents and any sub association restrictions.

What schools serve Woodbridge, Irvine?

Woodbridge is served by Irvine Unified School District. The high school is Woodbridge High, widely regarded as one of California's stronger campuses. The middle schools are primarily Lakeside Middle and South Lake Middle. The four neighborhood elementaries are Stone Creek, Meadow Park, Springbrook, and Eastshore. Because boundaries can shift, always confirm the exact assignment for a specific address with the IUSD school locator.

How old are Woodbridge homes and what should I budget for repairs?

Most Woodbridge homes were built in the late 1970s and 1980s, so even well kept properties may have older roofs, original windows, aging HVAC equipment, or dated plumbing and electrical components. Some homes have been fully remodeled, others remain closer to original. A serious buyer should plan for a thorough inspection (general plus targeted specialists such as sewer scope or roof if conditions warrant) and budget realistically for systems updates and cosmetic refresh over the first several years of ownership.

Are North Lake or South Lake homes a better buy in Woodbridge?

Both North Lake (ZIP 92604) and South Lake (ZIP 92614) offer strong value, well maintained amenities, and access to top schools. Differences are mostly about layout, traffic patterns, proximity to shopping, and the specific tracts within each side. The best advice is to tour both areas at different times of day, walk the streets near your target schools, and weigh lake access against quieter interior streets. Premium pricing typically applies to homes directly on or with views of either lake.
