Two bedrooms, a den, and a backyard most Eastside rentals can t match: 315 University Drive puts an updated home on a 9,148 square foot lot minutes from the Back Bay. The 1,225 square foot residence sits behind a security gate. Inside, a large living room centers on a fireplace, and dining area connects to the galley kitchen. Two bedrooms and two baths handle daily life, while the den adds a flexible third room for a home office, guest space, or playroom. Central air conditioning, in-unit laundry, and a two-car garage cover the practical side. The backyard sets this home apart. It is spacious and private, with room to entertain, garden, or simply spread out, a rare feature in a neighborhood where most rentals offer a patio at best. The location carries the rest. The Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve and the Muth Interpretive Center sit at University Drive and Irvine Avenue, with direct access to the Back Bay trails and the 10.5-mile Back Bay Loop for running, cycling, and birdwatching. The cafes and restaurants of 17th Street, Newport Beach shopping and beaches, and John Wayne Airport are all a short drive away. The home falls within Newport-Mesa Unified School District. A full yard, a flexible floor plan, and Back Bay access in one lease. Schedule your private showing.
