    New communities in Portola Springs

    Don't forget about the putting greens! That's a pretty cool addition to local parks! Thanks for the map! The models are being framed so I'm really hoping they finish the park faster than that! In our previous purchases and recent models we've seen, the park is done before the homes are being...

    New communities in Portola Springs

    Has anyone figured out what's going to be on Big Dipper, across from Hillside/Bluffs??? There's only signage for Hillcrest Park but the lot is now fully graded with roads ready and exterior walls being built. Can't seem to find the site plan anywhere.

    New communities in Portola Springs

    Oh wow! Interesting! I don't know why I thought all 3 would be on the other side of Dreamcatcher. Looks like Fiore is where CalPac was originally going to build near Lapis & Sierra.  Looks like they've graded the land pretty well where Hillcrest Park will be. I wonder when they'll release that...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Cluck Kitchen is SOLID! One of my faves! If you haven't tried Spice-C at Tustin District, also super good! Both options are 10x better than Dave's.

    Insane Pricing Levels at Lapis and Sierra at Portola Springs

    Looks like we are trying to break a record for how many different threads we can create to discuss the same subject!!  ;D https://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,18109.0.html https://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,17850.0.html https://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,18152.0.html...

    3 New California Pacific Communities in Portola Springs Late 2021

    Don't get too excited! I thought the same but Kindergarten is only 2.5 hours so you'll still need to pay for childcare before/after school which is nearly the same as preschool/montessori.  :(

    3 New California Pacific Communities in Portola Springs Late 2021

    This is understandable! It really comes down to personal preferences. We've lived in a courtyard setup and really enjoyed the kids being able to play with their friends without any cross traffic. The golden ticket is getting the courtyard AND a driveway. A few developments had a nice paved...

    3 New California Pacific Communities in Portola Springs Late 2021

    Oh wow! These prices are really surprising for an attached product when you could get Hillside, Highland and Bluffs for around the same price. Shocked CalPac is getting a little greedy with the pricing, bids, crazy HOA and no broker co-op. I always considered them a good builder for Irvine and...

    Lot 9 with the HUGE backyard and extended driveway will be the king of the neighborhood! Haha. Infinity pool and 6 cars!  ;D

    3 New California Pacific Communities in Portola Springs Late 2021

    I agree that Bluffs floorplans, high ceilings, panoramic rear windows and larger backyards are SUPER nice! We really considered it but it was hard to spend $1.3M (at the time) with no driveway. There's very few developments up in Irvine now that actually give you a driveway. Elderberry, Legado...

    Thanks for the info, Martin! I've been waiting to see where the pricing would land. My prediction that it would be in line with Elderberry was correct since it's the only other development in that area with a proper street facing SFR. I was shunned by a TI RE "expert" but the pricing makes...

    I've been wondering about this also... Looks like it's graded and ready to go. Maybe it will be a Highland extension? Here's the sitemap for it...

    Inspection on new construction

    Agreed! I used Steve also! The builder representative said that they hate seeing the documents come through from Steve because he's "so thorough". I had a great time working with him and he caught some things I wouldn't have thought of that the builder fixed at my 1 year warranty.
