    Tandem garage vs. side-by-side - Value Adjustment

    As a follow up to this, the HOA for my community just sent out a letter to all residents asking for pictures of everyone's garage (with address) showing either 2 cars parked in garage or 1 car parked in garage and other spot showing that it is not used for storage. They are giving everyone some...

    Tandem garage vs. side-by-side - Value Adjustment

    It's interesting seeing my old posts and what I was thinking at the time! I ended up with a 2 car garage that also has space for a small workshop. The main selling point for me was convenience. Although I can drive my wife's car and she can drive mine, it is just easier to have 2 car side by...

    Legado at Portola Springs III

    Anyone know what is going to be built next to the Anton apartments in PS3? Is this a Silverleaf, Indigo, or Legado extension. Right now, it is a raised dirt lot where construction materials are being stored. However, it looks like they are slowly developing the land.

    2017-2018 Property Tax Bills are out!

    Sorry for the thread hijack, but did anyone who moved into a new home during 2017 receive a homeowners property tax exemption form in the mail? I received one today (moved into a new home in June 2017) but do not think I qualify for the exemption since I was not occupying the property as of...

    Is the school by the community park going to be a junior high? I'm assuming since there is already an elementary and high school but want to confirm.

    Recommendations for garage floor epoxy

    I plan to get my garage done with epoxy. I read a previous thread and it appears that most off the of the shelf stuff from home Depot and Lowe's is not the same quality as some used by professional installers. Plus, I don't want to take on this as a diy project. How much should I expect to pay...

    Golden west shutters vs Orange County Shutters

    I received my first quote yesterday for basswood shutters with 3.5 inch louvers. The main difference in pricing was whether or not I wanted the tilt bar that goes in the middle of the blinds. If I wanted the tilt bar, it was about $17.50 per square foot and about $19.50 without the tilt bar.  I...

    Golden west shutters vs Orange County Shutters

    I'm also in the market for shutters. Are OC Shutters and Golden West Shutters still the go to for shutters? I have little knowledge on shutters. I don't know what to look for and ask for as far as options on shutters and any information/help would be greatly appreciated. I know people in this...

    Can I just mulch my front gated patio?

    I appreciate all the feedback. I think I may end up going with just laying down some low maintenance grass/sod. I did not see it in my CC&Rs but does anyone know how long (typically) we have to complete the landscaping before the HOA sends notices?

    Can I just mulch my front gated patio?

    It's a small patch of dirt in relation to the total patio. Just want something I don't have to worry about.

    Can I just mulch my front gated patio?

    I just moved in and have a gated patio in the front. The patio is about 20 feet long and 10 feet wide. About 1/6 of the patio is dirt. I want something low maintenance so I was just planning to put mulch over the dirt and call it a day. Is this something I can do and the HOA will be okay with...
