    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    Yep they are pretty close to Woodbury Town Center. I was referring more to the future GP developments closer to Altair, on the other side of Bosque. Should have been more specific.

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    It's not really a matter of how often you go to the grocery store, it's a matter of having the option. The convenience of having a grocery store in close proximity to where you live will never dawn on you until you're baking brownies, and you're one egg short.

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    I pray that Fivepoint develops some kind of retail. I've never been interested in living near the Great Park for commute reasons, but the residents of GP, PS, and Altair need a nearby retail option with a grocery store. The nearest grocery store is a ten minute drive away... eight minutes too...

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    I still hope the landswap deal goes through, but without this scam stipulation by the city. I might just call the city and give them a piece of my mind (it won?t make a difference, but it will make me feel better about how awful this proposal is).

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    This is so shameful. The landswap was an excellent deal, benefitting both the veterans and the immediately surrounding community. Now it seems like the city is trying to capitalize on obtaining a prime plot of land that's closer to Irvine's business hubs. How do you phase out donation of a land...

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    There?s a pretty substantial fire in Corona off the 91.

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    I can understand that. If you're a doctor, the closer you are to your workplace, the better (considering the possibilities of being on-call). That being said, I did make the timing calculation from "The Vistas at Orchard Hills" Google Maps location to Hoag in Newport, which is where I was given...

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    Not all money is made on the coast. Even if they do work in Newport, it's not nearly as far as people pose it to be. Only a 25-30 minute drive, which seems standard for a commute.

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    There are a countless number of ways to elevate a home design so that they would employ concepts that sold well in other communities, especially when building and marketing a neighborhood as high-end. They could have had higher ceilings in the great room or foyer, for example. They could have...

    Wow BTB, you don't pay your secretary the big bucks for nothing! If we're playing this game, let me take a crack at it: ?  THE RESERVE AT ORCHARD HILLS  ? For those millionaires who don't mind living in the Toyota Corolla of home designs AND close enough to your neighbors to hear a toilet...

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    TIC emailed it out this afternoon. This isn't quite a "slap in the face" as it seems to be. It's just standard practice to advertise the schools that a new community is assigned to. TIC sent out a nearly identical email about the schools assigned to the Groves in May 2015.

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    No, I'm not arguing that OH3 is a poor location. In fact, I think it's one of the best locations Irvine has to offer. I'm arguing that the product that IP is offering does not align with their prices. At this $/sqft, I would have expected a more exciting, architecturally unique product that...

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    Also, I don't know why TIC decided to develop a gated community that they're selling as the pinnacle of luxury living in Irvine, and still decided to include three high-density courtyard-style tracts into the mix (and more to come in site 4 on the map that Inc provided). The neighborhood should...

    Orchard Hills Neighborhood 3

    I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade (cough-BTB-cough), but does anyone else get the sense that these prices are unjustifiably high? High-density, courtyard-style, >2000-sqft detached-condos STARTING in the $1-millions (not including lot-size/view premiums)?? I think I'll pass. It all comes...

    Orchard Hills - Pesticides

    The allergies may not be a cause of the pesticides, but rather a result of the pollen that comes from the trees. Every season is avocado season in California, so that means thousands upon thousands of avocado blossoms on these trees year-round. That being said, as a fellow OH resident, it is...

    Alta Vista and Bella Vista at Orchard Hills

    How does decompressed village know that solely empty nesters are buying? Did they tell him? In truth, I've seen a wide range of buyers here--white, American-born asian, middle eastern, and yes, FCBs too. I've seen several young families walk through the houses showing serious interest, and I've...

    Alta Vista and Bella Vista at Orchard Hills

    The schools assigned to Vistas are still very competitive, and comparable to Uni. I could only imagine it becoming more and more competitive with the all of the kids in the Groves being assigned to the school, bringing in the money to afford tutoring and whatnot.
