I was at Terra yesterday and they mentioned that they are building models of residence 4 and 5 now, probably several  months out. Not sure on Ravello. There are floorplans online which will give an idea of things for now.

On Terra, they released a Residence 4 and 5, which are smaller versions of the plan 1 and 2. Residence 4: 1.28-1.29 million (2488-2511 sqft) Residence 5: 1.36-1.415 million (2643 sqft) They are interior lots, but some are corner with larger yards. Same thing on Ravello, but that downsize...

if you are open to a full service company, give "rollouts quick" a call. had them do our kitchen pantry cabinets shortly after COE. They are very responsive and as their name implies, able to get the job done quickly, within a week from initial visit/measurement to final install. it's been 6mo...

We used quartzite for our island and it's been great so far. We went with super white (has a carrera marble look) in a honed finish. no etching or marks yet...time will tell but we are pleased.

we moved in February. on our row of 6 homes, we know 3 of our fellow neighbors (all are non FCB), but interestingly 2 of the homes appear to be vacant, which I'm guessing are FCB...

I wanted built-ins, but given all the post escrow costs decided to look for alternatives and went with these from costco online. they look quite nice, were delivered fast (4 days) and I thought the price was reasonable ($1100). they are anchored into the studs, so sturdy too. we used Premier for...

we actually had an issue with the water dispenser of our new fridge (bought from lowe's) not working upon install. fortunately it was minor and just needed flushing of the water line, which the builder techs came out promptly to resolve. Had it been something more major, I would've realized the...

thanks...hard to swallow after purchasing but had a feeling there was a hefty profit margin attached.

We closed escrow in OH, corte bella earlier this month. Overall the experience has been positive. Felt like the sales process involved some creation of demand, but once we got over that and off the waitlist, it was fairly smooth sailing. After turning in our initial deposit, we got access to a...

how about corte bella in OH?

Phase 3A (from about a week ago): Plan 1 base 811K (avail units 811K, 816K) -9K since initial release Plan 2 base 870K (avail units 870K, 915K) +20K since initial release Plan 3 base 885K (avail units 885K, 900K) +15K since initial release There were some available plan 1 units when I was...

it's a short sale, listing agent wouldn't offer a showing even after submitting an offer. mls posting shows it has a 3 car garage (tandem space). apparently owner chose the offer of someone she had an emotional connection with. thought it was decent on a price per sqft basis and 3 car garage.

They had a pretty significant price reduction, which looks like it's helping them now...

sales person told me they only have a few 3x's in the whole development, which will be released in a much later phase. not sure what the exact differences are between the 3 and 3x though...

she likes the "good school" aspect, the people in general (I even have to admit the people are pretty cool, and we've met a fair number who grew up in irvine that have decided to settle back here; we moved from texas which she did not like), proximity to work (although her commute within irvine...
