Residents now have expanded shopping, dining and socializing choices as a result of Woodbridge Village Center’s major reinvestment.

The iconic neighborhood recently underwent a top-to-bottom makeover that added numerous new stores, restaurants and community services, including Grocery Outlet, Yogurtland, Focus Dance Center and The Artist Lab, with others opening soon. Many long‑term merchants remain, including CorePower Yoga, Irvine Yamaha Music Center and Barnes & Noble Booksellers.

The center also features significantly expanded outdoor spaces. At the heart of the center is a one-acre plaza with comfortable outdoor furniture, new climbing features for children, three much larger-than- life ceramic frogs, and commanding views of Woodbridge’s North Lake.

Located in the center of its namesake village, Woodbridge Village Center has been a favorite shopping, dining and social destination for residents since Irvine Company originally opened it in 1979.
