Woodbridge Village Turns 40
Vintage Orange Wednesday, June 8 2016
The year was 1976. The American economy was turning around and the southern California housing market was on the rise. It was the perfect time to launch the Village of Woodbridge; the capstone community of the Irvine Company's Master Plan.
Woodbridge was created to be the ultimate recreational village, where residents wouldn't have to walk more than 5 minutes to reach a park or a pool. From the very beginning, recreational activities offered by the Woodbridge Homeowners Association have been the key to this community's success.
This week, Bob Figiera, former Executive Director of the Woodbridge HOA, talks about the early days of the village as well as the philosophy that is still part of the community 40 years later.
