Assuming that you're social, sooner or later you'll befriend locals who live in HOA's with swimming pools. https://www.cityofirvine.org/aquatics-centers

These subcompact EV's are like Japanese Kei cars (~1,000 kg class) and suitable for some Asian/European cities & rural areas, but less so for California freeways. For comparison, the Nissan Roox S Hybrid and Honda N Box starts at about $12k USD: (enable subtitles) (enable subtitles) To...

Sadly, ST Patisserie Chocolat's Croissants are no more. :( We have a Jewish bakery in Irvine (Blessed Braid) but sadly they don't do bagels. I buy bread from Okayama Kobo in Anaheim: https://www.okayamakobousa.com/breadpastry-anaheim

How old is the house? If you bought the house new, you should've received a folder with contacts for the subcontractors. Try calling the subcontractor who installed the AC unit. If you don't have the folder, ask your neighbor or the builder. When I lived in Oak Creek I had issues with my...

My only issue is the lack of a driveway. :(

* Cul-de-sac home * Kitchen Pantry * Downstairs bedroom (or office) with built in closet * Downstairs bathroom with walk-in shower * Walk to elementary school * Potential to expand upstairs loft area * 3CG with long drive-way (can use the single car garage for storage) * Backyard (not a small...

I ended up buying the Knotts Berry Farm 2025 season pass that was on sale. IMO Legoland has more stuff for younger kids, but my daughter's school is like 10 mins away from Knotts. Knotts Camp Snoopy is geared for young kinds, but it's a smaller part of the park. Food options inside Knotts is...

Currently both Legoland and Sesame Place in SD are running discounts. I took my daughter there this week. Legoland's water park runs May 25-Aug 25, afterwards it's only open on "select days". It was closed when we were there but that was fine, because Legoland had plenty of rides and...

I'd suggest talking to the school district to see where they have the resources that would best serve your daughter's needs. It's better to get it sorted out first before sending your child to the school. There was an incident where the parents fought IUSD over inadequate special needs...

The MacBook Air M3 is now $850 at Best Buy. It was also on sale at Costco for same price but is now out of stock. The 9th gen Ipad is now $199 retail at Best Buy, Target, etc. But I have a feeling that Apple support for this will end earlier than M3 MacBooks.

No, the Oak Park condos are tri level, but the detached condos across Hawk Creek are 2 level. Be warned the elementary school rating is not that high.

If you look in Oak Creek, the detached condos along Hawk Creek can be had for less. But be warned that prices here dropped a little more in the previous down cycle. It's a nice neighborhood though, I lived there on and off for about a decade. Short walking distance to 2 shopping plazas, creek...

That general area is nice, Yorba Regional Park was one of my favorite fishing spots. However, park services doesn't clean the kid's playground enough and there's a lot of duck poop. The homes built in that area, both on Anaheim Hills side and on Yorba Linda side, has many floorplans with...

The location is probably better (less road noise), but it's on a smaller lot and (I think) all bedrooms are upstairs. From a "forever home" perspective, you'd want at least 1 bedroom and 1 full bath downstairs. As you get older you will struggle to go up and down the stairs. As I mentioned in...

Hope it has good sound proofing and dual paned windows! But the $77/month HOA and (likely) no mello roose is nice.

Yes, it only has marginal performance improvement over M2, but the M2 is $800 so for $50 more, it's probably worth getting the M3. With base 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD that's non-upgradable and non-replaceable, the system is not suitable for heavy duty use. But for moderate use scenario it's...

$1.4 mil for a tri-level condo? No thanks. This one is $1.5 mil single story SFR on 6,000 sq ft lot, across the street from Irvine high: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/4381-Bermuda-Cir-92604/home/4666054 You could grow old in the single story SFR as a “forever home”, but probably not the...
