Walnut

The median was $1,370,000 across 29 closed sales between 14 January and 20 July 2026, at a median $822 a square foot on a median closed size of 1,897 square feet. Closings ran from $680,000 to $2,550,000, and nothing in the village reached $3 million in that window. The single largest band was $1.5 million to $2 million with 12 sales, while seven closed under $1 million, so the village covers a wider price span than a single median suggests.

College Park Elementary, which enrolls 430 students in grades PK to 6 and reports 72 percent meeting or exceeding standard in English and 67 percent in math. Irvine Unified records its assignment area as the Walnut neighborhood, and its campus on Chaparral is the only school inside the village boundary. It feeds Venado Middle, which enrolls 506 students in grades 7 and 8 at 77 percent in English and 69 percent in math, and then Irvine High, which enrolls 1,964 students and reports a 93.8 percent graduation rate with 71 AP courses offered. Both of those campuses sit outside the village. Attendance is set by address, so check a specific address with the district.

Of the 29 homes that closed between 14 January and 20 July 2026, 21 were single family, 6 were condominiums and 2 were townhomes, and their build years ran from 1970 to 1999 with a median of 1973. That describes the 29 homes that reached the market rather than every home standing inside the boundary, and neither the City nor the six associations counts the village's housing by year built. Sizes among those 29 ran from 890 to 3,309 square feet, so the practical question in Walnut is which tract and which decade a specific address belongs to.

Half of the 29 closings were in escrow within 13 days, and the median came in at 99.1 percent of the original asking price, with 12 of the 29 closing above it. Days on market ran from 0 to 69. With only seven listings standing active alongside those closings, a buyer who waits for a second option to compare is often bidding against that scarcity rather than against the asking price. One unit shows the pace plainly: 424 Deerfield Ave #172, an 890 square foot townhome, closed at $680,000 in January and again at $755,000 in May, 111 days and 11 percent apart.

Three, all published by the City of Irvine. Harvard Community Athletic Park at 14701 Harvard Ave is the largest at about 26.9 acres, open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, and the City lists four lighted soccer fields, seven lighted ball diamonds, four lighted batting cages, two restrooms, a concession stand, five barbecues, twelve picnic tables, bicycle trail access and a skate park, alongside the Harvard Community Center with a reservable multipurpose room and kitchen. College Park at 14471 Mayten covers 7.6 acres and Flagstone Park at 21 Flagstone Drive covers 2.3 acres. The City describes its neighborhood parks as usually having no public facilities or staff present, with picnic areas available first-come and not reservable, which makes Harvard the only park in the village a group can book.
