Just an FYI, the Firefly home is zoned for the new Elementary school being built next year so its not really walking distance.

Who still puts laminate in 2018??? Check out SPC or WPC flooring if you are looking for something that in not wood. You're welcome.

I have a question about Tustin Field homes school Zoning. Right now they have been zoned for Irvine Unifie School District, but how does that work? Being in the city of Tustin, can these homes be refined in the future? Thanks in advance!

This is just my opinion. In real estate, especially when thinking about investment, you should buy in the best location that you can afford. Obviously PS is discounted for a reason and OH costs more for a reason. Appreciation will always be better in the better location. For the premium price...

As a parent of 2 young children (4 and 1 years old) I have conflicting thoughts about what to do in this situation. My neighbors behind us has a kid in high school. Every so often the parents leave town for a couple days and the kid stays home alone. The reason I know this is because the kid has...

We purchased in the first phase release of Colibri. We had a great experience working with Billie in the design center. They were very helpful and informative. As for the build quality, we have no major issues and all the minor problems we have had, i.e. patching and painting, wrong back splash...

Any help or advice would be appreciated. I live in new construction in Portola Springs. We are getting quotes for backyard landscaping and I am running into a big difference in pricing. We got a reasonable quote for someone to do the pavers and grass area with no bushes or plants in the planter...

What about from other builders besides IP? Can you negotiate on terms?

If what you see is correct then you enter the bath tub from the short side? Seems strange to me. That configuration does not seem that practical.

Looking at the floor plans for Colibri I have noticed something strange. In all the master bathrooms it looks like the bath tub and the shower are shoved right next to each other. From the schematic it looks like there is a entry door into the shower and the bath tub entry is either through the...

Does anyone know the quality of Ryland homes? I'm liking the plan 2. The downstairs great room dimensions look a bit small though but having the loft makes up for it.

I went to the "VIP" event this evening for a pre-release of the first phase release of 5 homes: Homesite #29 PLAN ONE $737,015 Homesite #8 PLAN TWO $676,453 Homesite #25 PLAN TWO $672,928 Homesite #26 PLAN TWO $673,878 Homesite #27 PLAN TWO $666,953 The only model home available to view is the...

I'm just curious, how will  the property value of Sendero be effected being next to Gavilan (the 55+ community)? Can any realtors give a quick insight/comparison on Laguna Hills and the surrounding home values around the 55+ community there?

OP, what do you plan on doing for backyard landscaping and what is the estimated cost if you don't mind me asking? Actually to anyone who has purchased new construction if you don't mind sharing some details I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. We've been looking and it comes down to Sage or San Mateo. Can you share if you remember approximately how much the design center charges for wood flooring, additional recessed lighting and tiling work? Thx and congrats on the purchase!!!
