March and April are about the latest that you'll want to start the apartment hunt in Irvine. High housing prices and low vacancies mean that if you leave it any later you're going to end up with very limited options.

Staying in the Know

Ask your prospective landlords up front what kind of income requirements they have for their suites. Some landlords will require that you prove you earn double or triple in a month the price of the rent. With the high cost of rentals in Irvine, sometimes the best way to match this is by recruiting roommates, or by having an eligible consignor attach their name to your lease.

Life in Irvine

Transportation

Although there are buses and bike paths, Irvine is a typical California suburb in that you almost need a car in order to get around without being constantly frustrated.

Dining
