i am sure dues have been going up to compensate for delinquencies and that is sure to continue to be a problem area. please note that as banks foreclose they bring their hoa bill current since the hoa lien in senior. what i was looking for was insight on another matter. i have heard that part...

bk, mahogany was like 10 years ago, right? you were ahead of your time - its STILL a nice plan.

attached is a floorplan for your use. its a 2088sf penthouse unit on the top with an awesome balcony that wraps around a good portion of it. 2 beds + den and a nice floorplan for that. perfect as a bachelor pad or a young couple with no more than 1 young child. i won't be shocked if it sells...

i like the alexandria one - the woodbury ones can't really be considered different versions of the alexandria one, they don't measure up. however i like all the pluses you pointed out in the woodbury homes. where is there one with the whole package?

--delete-- see the next post for more accurate info...

if only crystal cove had irvine schools and wasn't an extra 15 minute commute over the hill...

all ideal desirable things; however i think that most of those things (big footprint single levels or first floor masters, 3 car garages, porches, balanced architecture, landscaped streetscapes, etc) would require the icdc to give out more generous homesites to the homebuyer and that won't...

bk, i think having to design within your very strict guidelines has become quite the barrier to entry. in addition to separating the men from the boys it's actually helping reduce inventory. there are a lot of sales happening because its easier and/or less expensive to just buy a custom-spec...

i don't think the irvine company would have floated their cfd bonds for orchard hills and laguna crossings yet and that should buy them all the time they need. does anybody here know any more about this? as far as woodbury the opposite it true, i am pretty sure they floated their cfd bonds and...

since this is all irvine company money (the builders are just fee builders) i would bet phase releases will only happen as homes sell and they will only sell if they are making money. laguna crossings is clearly a better location so prepare to pay more than woodbury - there are a lot of people...

what did people think was going to happen with a 0% interest policy - who'd leave excess cash lying around or refuse a 4.xx% 30 year loan? people will either take on more risk on investments to try to earn something (the dow breaking 10000 demonstrates this) OR perhaps even buy a new home to...

fyi - carmel now says from low 900s...

its a juliets balcony plan 2 on one of the better homesites in that neighborhood (i know the backyard is not huge but you should see how small the others were) - here's what i remember about it: on the main floor it has a very nice kitchen/nook/family room. it has a living room which they had a...

if you got a good plan with your lot / liked the plan your lot came with you lucked out big time! the lots for sale that i have looked at which have plans don't really have plans that meet my current needs/wants so its design from scratch for me. as far as the DRC goes, i'll just accept that...

perhaps you could run a bell curve for the grading scale - i think there are going to be too many bad grades...
