What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Irvine
Site-built masonry is rare in a city this young, where half of everything dates from 2002 or later. Early villages such as Turtle Rock and University Park may show more wear than a newer one, where the unit's listing is the main subject. About ten miles inland, summers are warm and the climate mild, which spares most metal from heavy salt. Foothills to the northeast burned in the 2007 Santiago Fire, and a blind thrust sits under the San Joaquin Hills to the south.

In Irvine the report often covers village homes in stucco and tile, attached units, and factory-built or gas fireplaces rather than masonry.
