South Pasadena, San Marino, Arcadia and La Canada are the four main cities in that general LA vicinity with very desirable school districts. To say that any of these four cities has bottomed or will see a bottom within this year is simply inaccurate. I follow listings for these four cities...

For my family, it's not a matter of waiting or not. It's a matter of affordability. We would like a single family house (not condo, townhouse, apt., etc) that has at least some curb appeal and a decent floor plan within the city of Irvine. Unfortunately, there aren't much to choose from at...

Our apartment is a 2 bedrooms, 2 bath.

Sorry for the delayed response.... We renewed our lease for 16 months at $1900/month. Woodbury Lane Apartments.

From my experience 2 weeks ago... My wife and I turned in our 30-day notice with the intent to move. We did not have a new place lined up, but we figured with all the IAC complexes available we can find a new place within 3-4 days (if not sooner). Three days AFTER we turned in our notice...

We live in one of the Woodbury Apartment Complex (Woodbury Lane), and yes, we do get access to all the public facilities via the FOB key. Heck of a deal for us renters!

It is very true that rates are not as critical as price when referring to real estate purchases. We are currently being offered much lower interest-bearing accounts (cd's, money markets, savings, etc.) vs. even one year ago. That is why my wife and I are hoping for rates to shoot up in the next...

More likely than not, my wife and I will be waiting until 2010 or 2011 to buy a home, possibly in Irvine. We are currently renting in IAC Woodbury. We have a significant amount saved up already for a down payment, so we are actually hoping that mortgage rates will increase significantly in the...

Anyone know what specific schools will Stonegate's Palmeras complex route to?

Does anyone know if an existing IAC tenant with a lease that is about to end could take advantage of those "coupons" for $100.00 off per month that are available on the rental-living.com website? Or are those "coupons" available only to new tenants?

Can anyone recommend a good car wash facility within Irvine or neighboring city? We will be moving to an IAC apartment in April, so would appreciate suggestions on where you locals go to get your cars washed. Are there any self wash facilities where they only offer the water?

<p>Would it be feasable to simply pick up your belonging and moved to the lower priced apartment? Would IAC have a problem with that, assuming your lease is ending?</p>

Can anyone recommend an academically focused preschool in Irvine? Most of the ones that I've talked to (including Turtle Rock Preschool and various Montessori Preschools) within the city are considered developmental focused preschools.

Can anyone suggest a few preschools in Irvine? My wife and I prefer to have our 3 year old attend an academically focused preschool (vs. developmental preschool).

<p>Bubblegum,</p> <p>Your analysis on purchases made directly from the builders is right on. I have not thought about the time lag of construction at all. Very good point.</p> <p> My wife and I have been following various properties in the Northwood area. We are not investors by any...

<p>tourbillon,</p> <p>Do you consider mid-2005 to be the peak? Yes, I do agree that, in general, homes have not appreciated 50% beyond 2005 prices. However, I am seeing many current sellers' asking prices at 50% above their 2005 purchase prices. I guess those are simply their wish prices! </p>

<p>I am a little confused about the various predictions that folks have made on this blogs as well as in the general media. Predictions of 15-50% declines have been made, but my question is: 15-50% decline from what starting point? For example, are these predicted percentage declines based on...
