We've currently sold our condo in Irvine and are now renting until we find a good 3 bed SFR house in OC. Any recommendations? Our budget is $700,000 to $800,000 depends on the tax and HOA amount. Irvine would be our first choice, but it's almost impossible to find a good SFR in that budget unless the price keeps going down upcoming years.
Our priority lists are
a) SFR
b) Yard
c) Good schools
d) Less tax with hopefully no HOA
We've looked into Yorba Linda, Aliso Viejo and Fullerton areas. Yorba Linda looked the best so far because of the bigger land space, a good community vibe overall and also it has a toll road access for my commute. The location seems good also since we go up north often for family gatherings. I also like Northwood and West Irvine areas for they meet our lists, but again the price is almost too high.
Any comments would be appreciated.
