Where would you buy in Irvine, if money isn't the issue at all.

In other words, where is most upscale community in Irvine?

Single story 4+ car garage with a view lot and an infinity pool....wherever that exists.

Alta Vista Lucido!

Just need to find a Lucido with a view lot and build that infinity pool. 
 
Shady is probably the most exclusive, but if I had that kind of money I wouldn't want to live in Irvine. I liked Orchard Hills when they were first building it because everything was so quiet (I haven't looked at houses there for a few years so I don't know what it's like now). Turtle Ridge Summit has great views and houses but the entire neighborhood feels cold.

Shady, then Quail Hill (but only near the top on the single loaded streets).

Or a lake-backing home in Woodbridge.

Love Quail but major issues with package theft/property crimes, sadly. The top of the neighborhood (Vicara) was supposed to be guard gated but wasn't done. Some owners are trying to resurrect that idea. For that reason I would go guard-gated: Shady, OH (TB/Trevi), Turtle Ridge, or Laguna Altura.

Did not know that. Where would they put the gates? At both ends of Serpentine?

I still don't like Laguna Altura... would rather be in ungated QH than there. But I guess I don't really prefer gated communities.

I forgot to throw Turtle Rock on my list.

Gates were supposed to on Pine Needles and Luminous, just past Serpentine on each street up the hill.
 
#4....  sigh....  they should just skip #4 and #13 in all street numbers to make it simple.  (Just like some hotels skipping 4F and 13F....)
