Like you?ve said, hard to imagine why they would not.  Only reason for them to not continue is if they can?t sell, which we know is not the case, or they think they can make more money by building something else.  However, the investment it?ll take to build more models and do a relaunch, seems...

Honestly, I think a lot of people has been filling this form out for the past several years with no avail.  I just saw on another thread that they are cramming 36 kids into 4th grades at Hicks.  Now they may not all be from OH of course, but I've seen enough response to believe that they have...

We pay a large mello roos to TUSD for the "TUSTIN UNIFIED CFD # 14-1", which is the assessment targeted at improving school facilities.  They tell us there is insufficient enrollment for them to add grades to Orchard Hills Schools, and yet they are cramming kids into Hicks Canyon?  I mean, on...

Flyers were plastered throughout the community.

I'm Asian and I was born overseas but grew up in Southern California. I remember growing up in Cerritos in the 80s and 90s, at a time when there was a large number of Taiwanese and Korean immigrants.  But that felt vastly different from what we are experiencing here in Irvine today. The family...

We are working with Kathy at Alford's English Garden.

Aliso viejo would be my recommendation. Although the best American experience you might be able to give your kids is the diversity.  Seeing all different race of people having one similar culture is something unique in my opinion.

Our old home address was 46, sounds like death road or dead end in mandarin.  I'm Chinese.  Our buyer who paid full asking price in cash was mainlanders Chinese.  Didn't even come up.

Obviously.  You can buy features but you can't buy size.  However a lot of buyers don't know how to see potential, and instead sees what's existing. So throw location of the lot out the window and simply look at side by side lots with similar location (no cup de sac or other factors).  A...

Would a lot premium be more valuable down the line when selling or spend the extra cash fancy-up your yard? I feel if I'm looking at identical floor plans in a neighborhood with one being a 6000 sq ft lot and typical backyard vs a 4000 sq ft lot with a beautiful backyard, the beautiful yard may...

Agreed on the part of mainlanders.  Because of the high concentration of them as well as higher wealth bracket, I see it even harder for them to assimilate to local value.  I compared current situation to RH due to the high influx or well to do Taiwanese and their parachute kids to that area...

Instead of GG, I'm more worried Irvine becoming the next Rowland Heights. 

Then you are getting away at the break-neck speed of 5mph bumper to bumper 405 traffic.  73 might be a better bet.  Down to Dana Point and hop on a mini submarine waiting in the harbor.  Although that toll will most likely wipe out half of your loot.

Sprouts, Gelsons, Wholefoods, upscale asian market...  We definitely need a market soon.  I'm getting pretty tired of deciding between Woodbury Ralphs, Irvine Blvd Albertsons, or Jamboree Ralphs.  The plaza is quite packed most of the day.  Nekter has super long wait.  CVS is getting good...

Eastwood does feel grand.  Wide entrance street lined with giant eucalyptus trees, brilliantly lighted.  It feels like a much better community than Stonegate and PS.  It also feels like a natural progression for the younger couples who lived at Woodbury to move to when they start their family. ...
