    California Room

    One thing I really dislike about these loggias, California Rooms, etc is that it blocks the light into the house. THere's a couple of homes I have seen in TRidge with these loggias, and I imagine the CR will be the same issue- it already makes these Tuscan-inspired houses even more dark- and...

    Kula Kaiten Sushi, Irvine

    My family went today- and it was packed by noon! My kids had a lot of fun watching the conveyor belt. Very affordable too.

    Woodbridge or Racquet Club home?

    I think I'd go with the WB home if I had to choose. I am renting a house in WB and I understand what you are talking about with the "attached walls". It's not really attached- it's more of the "zero-lot" line you are talking about. Or the wall of the neighbor's house is essentially making up...

    Average age for boys to start 1st grade

    Wow- March sounds a little early for me to have a cut-off, per your pediatrian's advice, but I guess, to each his own. My son turned 5 in May and just started kindergarten. I do think that CA's cutoff is too late though- December is quite late. Back in Chicago, the cutoff is August.

    Discovered a slab leak, would you still buy?

    We were in escrow on a house in NB and were still waiting for the seller's disclosures. Got the disclosures back (literally 4 days before the close- we had a 3-week closing because I wanted my daughter in the new school distrcit). When I got the disclosures, it said that there was erosion on...

    Having Twins

    I am an identical twin. We are alike in so many ways aside from the physical aspect of it. My parents will tell me we were and still are a handful- but my sister and I are truly best friends.

    Homework?

    I know what you are talking about IHO- I don't recall getting homework until I was maybe in 4th grade (I'm 40). My daughter is now a 2nd grader at Stone Creek elementary. She was attending a Montessori through 1st grade and did get homework, but it wasn't that much- maybe 1 sheet per...

    MLS Irvine Closed Sales since 1/1/2006

    Thanks! How interesting on Oakley Terrace. When you mean expensive, the buyers lost the earnest money? Or can the seller cancel? What would be the consequences of that?

    MLS Irvine Closed Sales since 1/1/2006

    Thanks Irvine Realtor! I have a couple of questions- I was interested in 5542 Oakley Terrace but it had offers on it within days of listing. I don't see it on your closed sale worksheet. Did they take it off the market? Also- did 22 Trumpet Vine go to the bank? I got an email...
