LOL!!! :) Yes, links seem to be a sore subject here, thanks I'll use Redfin instead (though I honestly like the way it looks through my site's idx feed better, but that's okay).

Love to get someone's opinion/review from this forum on any of the following open houses this weekend (deeply opinionated reactions welcome): 51 Midnight Sky (Woodbury) Saturday Feb 22, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, 7 Meadowlark (Woodbridge) Saturday Feb 22, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, 28 Miners Trails...

LOL! Well said!  ;)

I like these ideas, it would be particularly simple to add the neighborhood and subgroups. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll double check that now!

I can't help but think that all the complaining regarding racial/ethnic diversity in Irvine is based on subjective experience. My largely asian/indian neighborhood couldn't be more warm, friendly, generous, etc to me and my caucasian family. We have barbecues, community events, and are generally...

Understood! I lived in a condo very near both the Silk Tree address above (same street, even) and the recent 10 Thicket listing in Woodbridge (the neighboring street of Greenbough), and I can tell you both neighborhoods are very pleasant and kid friendly, with the neighborhood around Thicket...

Thank you for the feedback, everyone!! I agree this last segment looked a little "dark" on the whole, and it felt a little fast paced or rushed (but I'm old now, so everything seems fast paced to me these days, so I definitely need objective opinions). I'm not trying to poke fun at the...

I've voided placing any questionable links back to my site, but in this instance I genuinely want feedback on the "Irvineopoly" concept (not unique to me, obviously, but hopefully my take on it is) as it appears as a video on my site. And yes, I expect criticism (I try to focus on homes with a...

I kind of like these resales, just to throw them into the ring of discussion: http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/822-Silk-Tree-92606/home/28881438 http://www.redfin.com/CA/Tustin/2341-Ternberry-Ct-92782/home/5356043

4) Need better stores... More places like REI, Uggs Outlet, Lulu Lemon etc... Uggs Outlet...! hilarious!  ;)

I'm a caucasian and live in a particularly Asian-dominated (inclusive of South Asia as well as Southeast) part of Irvine, and generally have not felt any discomfort or experienced any overt rudeness on the part of the 'non caucasians' - call me a bleeding heart but I just don't see as much of...

The recent Orange County Register article which IHO mentioned is very good information to have if schools are a deciding factor:http://www.ocregister.com/articles/schools-602215-school-stonegate.html

Market forces have definitely edged mortgage rates slightly upward for the last two weeks, and have adjusted lock advice accordingly. But am I the only one who thinks there is still some weaker-than-expected economic readings yet ahead of us? Overall, I see Q2 as an almost guaranteed mortgage...

I dare say that if families, particularly "caucasian" families, and volunteer charitable organizations such as churches, etc, were behaving as they should, a government grabbing 50% of your productive income would be a more difficult sale.

I am deeply touched by the hopelessly romantic people in this forum. ;) Passive aggressive home touring being perhaps my favorite example.

What are things people are doing this weekend in and around Irvine to celebrate Valentine's Day? Are you making a weekend out of it?

Excellent evaluation by Bones, I think the following is particularly advisable given your range of interests: 2. Rosemist - the plan 2 probably fits exactly what you are talking about.  Lennar does the "EI" program which means there are some things you can't customize in the house through the...

I can't imagine being on a different floor with any of my kids, even my one teenager who thankfully prefers to be on the same floor. Didn't deter me from the shotgun, though. 1 bedroom downstairs for guests is about as far as I can go. I have CERTAINLY ran into all different kinds of preferences...
