Portola Springs

The median was $1,785,000 across 85 closed sales between 15 January and 17 July 2026, at a median $779 a square foot on a median closed size of 2,339 square feet. Closings ran from $900,000 to $4,450,000. Two thirds landed between $1 million and $2 million, with 24 sales between $1 million and $1.5 million and 32 between $1.5 million and $2 million, while 11 closed above $3 million. Bedroom count moved the number hard: the 32 three-bedroom closings ran to a median $1,352,500 and the 46 four-bedroom closings to a median $1,945,000, a spread of about $592,500 between the two medians.

All three campuses are Irvine Unified. Portola Springs Elementary serves grades K through 6 with 948 students, and reports 72 percent of students meeting or exceeding standard in English and 71 percent in math. Jeffrey Trail Middle School serves grades 7 and 8 with 1,049 students, at 76 percent and 74 percent. Portola High School serves grades 9 through 12 with 2,693 students, reports a 94.6 percent graduation rate, and offers 98 AP courses. Portola High's published attendance area names Portola Springs directly, while the elementary and middle assignment is set by address, so check a specific address with the district.

Not among what reached the market. Of the 85 homes that closed between January and July of 2026, 50 were condominiums, 30 were single family and 5 were townhomes. That is the sample that traded rather than a count of the village, but the zoning explains why the mix runs that way. Most of the residential land sits in Medium Density area 2.3K, where an individual project is allowed to exceed 12.5 dwelling units per net acre and go as high as 31.0, provided the density across the whole district stays at 12.5 or under, so attached and detached neighborhoods sit side by side under one district average. A buyer set on detached housing is working from a smaller pool than the headline sales count suggests.

Half of the 85 closings were in escrow within 35 days, and the median closing came in at 95.9 percent of the original asking price. With 82 listings standing active alongside those 85 closings, about 5.8 months of supply against the pace of the preceding six months, the gap between the first ask and the final number is where most of the outcome is decided.

Almost all of them belong to the association. The City of Irvine's parks layer records only two city parks inside Planning Area 6: Portola Springs Community Park at 900 Tomato Springs, mapped at 32.51 acres alongside 124 acres of preserved open space and trails, and Orchard Trails Park at 0.43 acres. The community park is open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and carries two lighted softball fields, two lighted soccer fields, six lighted pickleball courts, three lighted tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, a nature-themed playground and a native garden, and the community center at the same address rents a 2,963 square foot multipurpose room seating about 198 and a 1,651 square foot Native American wing, the Acjachemen Room, seating 104 to 110. Everything else is association property for residents: four clubhouses at Highland, Lomas Valley, Silverado and Village Square, an aquatic facilities report covering 12 pool locations, Junior Olympic pools at Lomas Valley Park, Silverado Park, Tomato Springs Park and Village Square Park, and lap pools at Orchard View Park, Valley Vista Park, Center Terrace and Greenfield Park. The association's amenities page names 18 neighborhood parks and says 20 are planned, so part of what is named is still ahead of a buyer walking the village today. The Jeffrey Open Space Trail is the exception the City maintains itself, running along the eastern side of Jeffrey Road at the equivalent of 325 feet wide from the curb face, about 28 acres inside the planning area, never allowed to narrow below 200 feet, and carrying a Class I bicycle trail.
