Hmmm tough one...I've always known California Pacific to be a quality homebuilder, even with their condos and townhomes. The New Home Company is also top notch IMO. Maybe someone else with personal experience with the new homes can chime in if I'm wrong, especially since both of these projects...

Those yards are so depressing...

Same here, but some people don't mind the detached condo life or homes like your namesake with a motorcourt. Look at the La Vita homes in OH; those things were selling better than the SFRs in OH. I think it's because the designs were more innovative.

For that plain interior....? And to think the actual model home for that floorplan was half the price when it sold....crazy.

Yeah, the one in Orange has axe throwing. I have a feeling the Irvine one doesn't.

Some things are better than others for sure. I really liked their smoked wings. The axe throwing is fun too.

They might have trouble selling at that price point given the location in Greentree...the back of the house is right at the bus stop on Walnut at the main Irvine High intersection.

Personally, I think Woodbury is the best pick from all of those choices. More variety in home styles and architecture in comparison to CV East and the new phase of Portola Springs...LOTS of amenities and parks, convenient shopping center in the community, etc.

We had Creamistry, but it closed a few years ago. You can always go to Cauldron Ice Cream off MacArthur and Bristol.

I was at the Costco center and there was a helicopter hovering very very low and the freeway was completely stopped and traffic was blocked by officers at the Alton exit with police on the loudspeaker. I was wondering what was going on, but I'm guessing it had to do with this.

Yeah I've definitely been there before where the flavors were really bland and then much more flavorful the next time...

Handel's has almost too many flavors and it's your run of the mill classic ice cream shop. I also think it was hyped up because it wasn't in OC until 2017 or 2018 I believe. The first time I ever had it was actually in Carlsbad and that location was crazy busy. Wanderlust is a trendy LA ice...

It's hard to say what the downsides are for Cypress Village East because it's subjective. It's a small community, so there aren't many amenities inside as Cypress Village across Sand Canyon. The upside is that you don't pay the Great Park MR and taxes, but can cross the street and be at the...

I wouldn't completely rule out Cypress Village because of the school, I would evaluate everything overall. Which part of CV are you looking at? Are you looking both at the original CV and East? Irvine has always had low income housing sprinkled in so I wouldn't write off CV because of that.

6) There have been and will always be fires in Portola Springs. 7) Irvine High has an interesting reputation in Irvine, but I think it's just due to the typical "my school/my kid's school is better than yours" mumbo jumbo; Irvine schools are top tier, period. I went to University High and every...

They closed that one too? Hopefully the Sand Canyon one doesn't close. That's the last one in Irvine.

My favorite used to be the sweet potato fries, but they recently switched to a crisscut version that isn't as good. I also recommend downloading the app if you go often because then you get points for discounts/free items.

Floorplans are up now for these two tracts. I'm actually surprised that Taylor Morrison chose to go with traditional SFRs for Lily versus the rest of the surrounding home styles. The plans and exteriors are very boring though.

I could've sworn I saw a post about this neighborhood not too long ago, but I can't find it. There are new detached condos coming to Los Olivos. I thought they were initially supposed to be SFRs, but I guess that changed. I don't see any plans yet, but I found information on the tract. It will...
