We signed the purchase agreement with TMHF initially, then changed to Wells Fargo directly a week later. We did have to sign an update/amendment that the sales staff arranged. Also got 3.875 0/0 through WF.

Ditto on the gas station and a supermarket would be great too. I thought the Great Park was going to develop retail south of Irvine Blvd?

Me :) My previous home had oak/gunstock engineered wood installed in 2001, covering the kitchen and dining areas. I just moved out and overall it's in great shape (so roughly 13 years old). You will have to be careful about wiping up spills quickly but regular use and general wear and tear was...

Our home has phone jacks in the communication hub inside the master closet.

Pinging qwerty....

Well, ok it's bigger than that :) It definitely passes the "can't touch the back wall from my rear window" test (only in Irvine....).

I will admit though, the medium yard is pretty tiny  :-[, even compared to the lots you see in Portisol (Woodbury) - those resales were originally our first choice. But not much luck waiting for the 4/3 properties to come up....

Sorry to revive this old thread, but hi IrvinePeon! Looks like we'll be neighbors. For me, good deal was $321/sf incl. options/incentives. I know Quinterra has it's cons but for new construction and the peace and quiet (some call it creepy :)) it's a nice change for me.

Must be a HOA structure thing then - there are trees and streets (private, since the community is gated) that the master HOA has to maintain for the SFRs too. But no matter how you look at it, detached condo HOAs, even when it's dual association is still a heckuva lot less than attached condos.

Not sure how HOAs are structured in the different communities but I lived in a detached condo in Oak Creek and had to pay a master and a sub, but because it was detached didn't have to pay (or cover for) additional insurance either. Never understood why detached condos needed a second HOA, maybe...

That's the reason I asked, because I think Springhouse is only one HOA, which makes it (HOA wise) effectively the same cost as a similarly-sized SFR. PP (and maybe Cypress Village?) is one the few areas that have only a master assoc and no sub for the condos.

Just curious, is there a specific condo product in Irvine that is detached but >5000 sq ft lot? Maybe some lots in Springhouse? Even some SFRs meet your definition (minus the lot size  :)) - Garden Hill, Magnolia, and Montecito.

I think in the long(er) run TIC will do retail in this area, especially if it's built out to the size that was originally planned. It's too many people to not have at least a gas station, supermarket, and a drugstore. With the exception of a few neighborhoods (LA and... Uni Park?), most of the...

Good to know, I thought that was part of Portola Springs.

I live near this area, and for the longest time they had a large poster saying Shady Canyon Medical Center coming soon. I was also wondering what they planned to do with the power lines, since the only commercial buildings I've seen under power lines are public storage lots  ;D

Saw this too, also looking forward to see what this turns out to be. Hoping for retail and not more 4-level condos....

In our experience (Mendocino specifically) IP/OnQ did not budge. Home must be in escrow for them to prequalify you.

There are active avocado groves in Portola Springs, near Garden Hill and Quinterra. Not gated like OH though.

If you're referring to the last plan 1 model, it was at 829k for a week or so and then it went pending. I don't think it's closed yet...
