I commend her on her choice. Sometimes, you just have to go for the gusto and do what feels right for you and your family. Her daughter is only entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2010. Who knows, maybe she'll decide to homeschool (OMG! Parish the thought!) and opt to be a stay at home...

Hee! And Amen. You're a real asset to these parts, bk! I don't know what IHB would do without you.

The OP sounded a little off. I was thinking they were talking about Woodbury Place, too. There is a Brittanie there, I believe and she's really sweet.

Oh, the way they're handling the IVY buyers is hilarious. Almost as hilarious as them raising the prices of these ridiculous new floor plans at WB. It's seriously a joke. I'm waiting out for prices to change (crosses fingers!) next year, too. With the new buyer credit law passing to extend...

Sheesh. Really? I don't think I've ever heard such a claim.

When I got this in the morning I read this part: And read it to say, "You will be harassed by a builder sales consultant...to bother you with questions and demand you to make an appointment."

Reading more and more of these success stories really make me want to join in on the good fortune here at IHB! We'll be looking to USCTrojanCPA when we're reading to purchase!

IrvineCitizen - I wouldn't have even bothered with talking to them. (It's fine that you did, good for you for pointing it out) Mostly because it's obvious they were never going to care or change. I'd report them directly to the HOA. I've learned that if you do the dirty work yourself and...

I think the whole thing is confusing and overpriced (still? LOL!) for this market. It's possible that the Irvine housing market has changed, but not the rest of SoCal. I doubt people will want to pay that much if they can get it a bit cheaper elsewhere and maybe for more sq. ft. My guess is...

In Woodbury, there are some "affordable housing" apartments called Woodbury Walk. It's been up for over a year now and been running pretty well. I haven't noticed any "hood rat"-esque problems and I personally think that thinking the people would be some sort of projects-based communities is...

It's kinda dark at the moment, but I'll do my best to score some shots in the morn.

Just this month a similar issue happened. People broke in to a facility, they claimed to be "residents", they were escorted back to "their house" and then nothing. No ID, no names, nothing. Not even a business card to let the community management know that the IPD was there responding to a...

The new La Casella homes are up for Pre-Sale starting October 17th. They're going for $640,000 - $709,000.

OP, I've been warned about this before from bk, so I'd take heed. Irvine is a tricky place and as it was joked here, they do everything in their power to appear as happy-go-lucky and "crime free" as possible. Best of luck to you!

Are you also considering the single family homes that consist of apartments and townhomes in Irvine? (Rentals?)
