Hello All,
I'm a first-time poster. I am moving to Irvine in the upcoming months and getting a bit overwhelmed with the options. I would love your input. Here is my background and some of my questions:
1. Time to purchase: between now and 1 year.
2. Price: 1.5 - 2.3 million.
3. No kids yet; ideally, this would be our final home, so we would like to be in the "best" school system, which at this point, seems to be University and/or Northwood. Who knows what it will be in 14-16 years?!
4. What are people's thoughts on elementary schools, specifically Vista Verde? Personally, I think elementary school and junior high are more important than high school, as the former sets the foundations for kids' study habits. We want our kids to be in a strong academic environment, but also one that is culturally diverse (i.e. don't want the vast majority of classmates to be East Asian, South Asian, although this may be difficult in Irvine).
5. What are people's thoughts on Newport Coast/ Port streets in Newport? Also, what do people think of Newport Elementary school and Corona del Mar high school?
Thank you for your help and input. As you all know, this website is extremely helpful (albeit, overwhelming at times).
Cheers!
