    New Listing - Single Family Home in Lake Forest (25672 Orchard Rim)

    How many nice El’s though? El Sereno, El Monte, what else? ET was the cheaper option next to MV back in the day so that name change made a lot of sense. A USC gf who went to Capo told me back then ETHS was the “poor”’school. Being from Pasadena I had no clue but I knew El Toro sounded cheaper...

    New Listing - Single Family Home in Lake Forest (25672 Orchard Rim)

    The name change from El Toro to Lake Forest back in the 80s was strategic genius on the part of city leaders - it would be at least $100/sq ft cheaper with the Mexican name

    State of Irvine Real Estate 2026

    In late 70//early 80s we used to visit a friends house in Cerritos for a 4th of July block party in the tract by the park next to Whitney HS and it was ALL Indian - back then Cerritos was known as little India. They must have moved to Irvine as Indians want to live around other Indians (but not...

    is Cerritos still heavily South Asian? I would choose Rossmoor in a heartbeat but my wife is South County only. Such an old school great neighborhood vibe.

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    Reno is on my radar for a 2nd home as I like riding Mt Rose, NDOT keeps the highway cleared much better than Caltrans in Tahoe, the city has its own ski hill with $35 lift tickets for residents , and the restaurant selection is light years beyond Tahoe. I’d live there to ride 100 days/year but...

    Does Sundance still exist in Parker? Didn’t have you pegged as a River Rat MK - last time I was there was Mem Day 88 - love that cove where all the gals used to take their tops off

    For sure - it’s the middle class wage earner living in Southgate driving to their baggage job at LAX

    ICE or EV?

    It would be a smart move to acquire a used Tesla now - the pain from the coming CA refined petroleum molecule famine hasn’t even manifested yet - without a doubt CA will see $10/gal minimum for a decade. Too big a tanker to turn around even if we get a GOP supermajority (which will never...

    My buddy many years ago bought Dallas Raines’ Pantera after befriending him at the gym - with a 501. Said it was a total beast
