I looked at the Irvine Planning Area Map recently and noticed that there is still an undeveloped corner of land west of the intersections of Irvine Center Dr., Bake Pkwy., and Lake Forest Dr. Is this going to be a future Irvine Company Village? Or is it going to be like Pavilion Park? The zoning...

After seeing discussion on the quality of certain builders, I have decided to form a poll to see TI members' preferences toward certain builders and why. Certain builders had mostly good (or in the case of KB, bad) neighborhoods, so I had to really pick on certain details to separate them from...

Sage II is selling. The website deceitfully says that it starts at $699K, but the real prices are... Plan 1: $720K (open-to-below + big yard = $?) Plan 2: $835K (in that case, pay $30K more and go with Corte Bella Plan 2) P.S. HUGE yard compared to other developments Plan 3: $800K Quick-move...

Can anyone guess the builder, location, or price for this development??? ... Skylar at Playa Vista (nearly $600/sf)

Another 114 homes are underway to be developed west of the current Sausalito tract. They are planned to be SFRs, but there is an alternative choice to make them condominiums. Hopefully, they're SFRs because they're sandwiched between Sausalito and Arcadia.

The homes along the end of Jeffrey Road look like they will become condominium and apartment complexes (575 total). So, no custom homes after all. :o

Any clue when these are going to open? And in what order are they going to open? Are they going to be any Residents-size homes in these neighborhoods?

Make it short this time... 1. La Vita 4 (see ps9's rant) 2. Messina 2 (2-story guest suite, large central courtyard w/ outdoor kitchen ooh, la, la and view from master bedroom, up to 7 bedrooms) Messina 3 was an utter disappointment, spiral staircase w/ hard to clean stones squashed into a...

I will start of this discussion with my choices: 1. Corte Bella Residence 2 2. PRIOR DRAFT OF Strada Residence 3/3X Corte Bella Residence 2 will be a big hit among Asian parents because many value single-story homes as being truly not space-conservative. With a downstairs laundry (which some...

Considering that most land west of the 133 Toll Road will be completed after four years, what areas will be left in Irvine? Orchard Hills and Heritage Fields, along with land in Planning Area 30 and Northwood Paseo, are the only areas left in Irvine for new homes 4 years from now. Are there any...

Does anybody know if a builder in Irvine (not necessarily IP) accepts contingencies? It will save us some pain with the prequalification, but I know it is unlikely considering that other neighborhoods in other cities frown upon the word "contingency". Thanks.

If I purchase a home in Irvine in the future, I would like to know others' opinions as well.

I am considering one of the 3 (5 possibly) neighborhoods. What would you say? Why? Thanks.

THIS IS LAUGHABLE! Cariz at Portola Springs Built by TRI Pointe 3-Story Townhomes 1230 to 2048 Square Feet 7 Different Plans Available None Have Separate Shower and Bath Let's hope TRI Pointe doesn't reck its good reputation from Messina!  >:D

The beautiful Plan 1 has overpriced the not-so-beautiful Plan 2, even though the Plan 2 has a large roomy upstairs loft and the Plan 1's square footage includes a casita detached from the rest of the house. Just look at the Plan 1 Tuscan Exterior with double doors! But,... Toll Brothers is...

Toll Brothers got cheaper... The Cascade originally had a white stony exterior for the Italian Villa exterior, but it has now been replaced by what looks like bricks! Also, note... Cascade Base Price: $954,995 Cascade QMIH: $1,008,135 50K additional for quick-move in! Not as bad as La Morra...

Just curious.

So, Wells Fargo is getting the cheaper homes (a.k.a. Entrada, Vista Scena, and Corte Bella) while OnQ gets Terrazza and Strada. For any potential homebuyers at Orchard Hills, beware! Wells Fargo wants all of your information! And before pricing comes up at Orchard Hills, here are my predictions...
