I like the oversize kitchen islands in these models. Does anyone know if the second island is standard or optional?

To be completely fair, I would sacrifice lot size for a good view as well, but the views are essentially blocked by the school buildings below on half of the lots offering the "view" (the view lots on the right half). I checked YEARS ago (it was technically trespassing, but shh don't tell), and I was sorely disappointed. The school buildings are only two stories tall, but they are a lot taller than you would think--tall enough to block out the city lights virtually completely. The view lots on the left side definitely offer the best views in the tract, as there is nothing more than a flat school field below to block the view (but may surely be a daily noise issue...). It's a shame that they aren't offering any plan 1s on that side. Trevi plan 1 is certainly my favorite model in the neighborhood, besides La Vita plan 4

It's been a long time since I reviewed the site map for Trevi. It appears the New Home Company was approved to build 4 more homes in the culdesac near Culver & Furrow. That area was originally designated for a child care center. The City of Irvine caved in to builder greed like usual. Is there ever a builder variance that the City rejects?

Probably these initially had buyers who backed out. Do the Builders actually keep the deposit money or any money paid for the options in these cases?

The contract with TNHC states that all deposit monies are non-refundable. When you order the options through the design center there's a 50% deposit, except for flooring. If I recall, the flooring deposit was either 20-25%.

This is true for most builders. In many cases, especially when a buyer from an early phase backs out, not only do they keep the deposit, they turn around and sell the house at the higher per square foot price of the latest phase and makes more money than if the original buyer had followed through with the purchase.
