I'll neither confirm or deny where I live :-) I have some friends who live at The Meadows. From conversations with them and my own observations 1) It's a diverse neighborhood, in a good way. The residents include young professionals, families with children aged young to old, empty nesters...

Just to throw out some counter arguments on this 1) The Meadows cannot prevent access to it's public parks from sun up to sun down, so gates will have to be open during those times, thereby defeating any perceived protection during those hours. 2) The final neighborhood plan that was sold to...

What a bizarre legal path. "There's enough evidence to convict, but I didn't do anything wrong, let's skip the trial, I accept the Judge's sentence". Seems like a strategy of a guilty person who is trying to hide from a full trial.

This house is a winner

I think there's a fair amount of sellers who are doing as you say. The shenanigans that went on with the elementary school is quite a blemish on an otherwise well done (imo) community. Another large portion of the resale in the Meadows are flips and/or barely lived in houses. I suspect these...

Looks like the petition was posted August 2023. If there was any legitimately arguable laws broken there would be lawsuits by now. Current number of lawsuits against TB or SVUSD re: Meadows = 0.

Seems like a good starter house for a young professional or young DINK couple.

Glad to see your thoughtfulness of the time your agent invested helping you.

One of the few things IHO and I agree on! There's very little for an agent to do when it comes to assisting a buyer with a new home purchase. Although an exceptional agent will sniff out ways to add value (like finding you a great lender to work with, an independent inspector if you prefer...

Awesome :-)

If you're not 100% satisfied with your agent's work so far you've got nothing to lose by reaching out to Martin. When it comes to a purchase as large as a house, you deserve the best ally you can find imho.

Great questions, and congratulations on your home search. Irvine is a great city with many great things to offer. I can't answer all of your questions, but I know someone who can, and he is the best of the best when it comes to buying/selling real estate. Connecting with @usctrojancpa...

From the 110 Nest Pne (Pine?) listing description: "Nestled within the esteemed Orchard Hills community, this exquisite Toll Brothers residence has been meticulously enhanced by the seller, elevating its appeal and functionality to new heights. Enjoying breathtaking sunset views from its...

Similar situation - my wife prefers cabinets that go to the ceiling because she shudders at the idea of how much dust & whatnot accumulates on top of cabinets with a gap between their top & the ceiling. I personally like the look of cabinets that go to the ceiling (within reason of course). I...

Even with $253k of builder upgrades, the original buyer couldn't even be bothered to pay up for cabinets that go to the ceiling. Sigh...

The rendering is completely unrealistic for three reasons 1) People are outside 2) People are without copious amounts of sun protection 3) People aren't staring at their phones /s

I didn't realize tankless RO exists. Do you have one? If so, how is the flow rate when you dispense water? What happens if you want to fill up a jug of say 1/2 gallon at once?

Best in the business. Well done Martin!

I have a water softener. The total cost was about $3,500. It needs to recharge every 2,600 gallons used, and a recharge uses about 100 gallons. The recharge puts a lot of very salty water into the sewer, which I hear isn't something the water treatment plants appreciate (I don't know exactly...

From the listing: "GOLF COURSE VIEWS LIKE NO OTHER!" Yes indeed! And think of the cash flow opportunities from reselling golf balls that land in the back yard! Or maybe it's cash flow even after factoring in the cost of repairs due to golf balls hitting the house.
