Located in a sunny stretch of Orange County, our apartments near Irvine, CA balance the ease of California living with the energy of a dynamic urban hub. Minutes from your doorstep, South Coast Metro’s shopping, restaurants, and arts scene meets the live-work-play vibe of the Irvine Business Complex. From there, the 55 makes an easy run down to Newport Beach, so the coast is always within reach. Work, culture, and the outdoors all fold into the same easy pace, and putting down roots feels like the natural choice. At Bloom, that’s exactly what home feels like.
A Home That’s Connected to It All
Bloom sits at the corner of Sunflower Avenue and South Flower Street, just east of Bristol Street, one of the main roads that connects South Coast Metro to the rest of Orange County. I-405 and CA-55 are just as close, putting the Irvine Business Complex about 10 minutes south for the workday, while the Irvine Spectrum Center’s outdoor shops, restaurants, and entertainment are roughly 15 minutes away. Heading out of town? John Wayne Airport is less than a 10-minute drive from home, making travel plans an easy “yes”.
The rest of the week runs just as smoothly. A Vons at Metro Town Square covers the essentials, and Sunflower Plaza takes care of the smaller errands that fill in the rest of the day. The UC Irvine Langson Orange County Museum of Art is just as close, filled with pieces from celebrated artists, inviting a little inspiration into your day-to-day.
