Not sure if I would consider this "bad build quality", but rather a house that hasn't been finished yet. These kinds of imperfections are to be expected for any house under construction, whether it is an attached home in PS or a custom home in Crystal Cove. The Bella Vista models needed another...

Looks like they did... I must say, pretty ingenious. On a good day, you can go into your backyard to make some bulgogi, and leave the smell outside. Why hasn't anyone else thought of this?

Here's my list (not based on value/sqft): 1. Shady Canyon (accessibility from the 405 to the ocean, plus gorgeous homes) 2. Turtle Ridge/Rock (dated floorplans, but pretty great proximity to the ocean) 3. Orchard Hills (far from the ocean, but the setting is really uniquely beautiful, and the...

92602 (Orchard Hills) has the second-highest median list price in Irvine, behind only to 92603 (which has an inflated median list price due to mega-million-dollar inventory in Shady Canyon). But sure. Let?s entertain the idea that East of the 5 is ?ghetto?

Yep, mean't high $1 millions. Sorry about that.

EDIT: I got an email saying that the models are going to be released on Saturday, priced from "the high $1 to $2 millions"

Are you referring to the lots recently sold at the Vistas or at HC? Things get a bit confusing when people start talking about multiple developments in a thread.

All new homes in Irvine use PEX.

I am actually mortified by how ugly this listing is. The agent/owners really need to get this home entirely repainted and professionally re-staged if they plan on getting ANYTHING close to the list price. The finishes (kitchen, bathrooms, downstairs flooring) are actually pretty decent. The...

This one has a significantly lower price-per-square-foot. 60 Quarter Horse: $637/sqft 51 Quarter Horse: $535/sqft I always wondered why TIC didn't build a glass fence for the homes at the end of the cul-de-sacs at Strada. Such a shame. 51 Quarter Horse could have fetched $1.6M, had TIC made it...

I'm just relaying what I took into consideration when chosing where to purchase on this side of Irvine. Personally, having a grocery store that could be accessed without having to deal with any traffic lights was a huge plus. From my address in OH, I could get to the Orchard Hills Shopping...

As a resident at the Groves, I am ecstatic to see Pavilions return. Now I won't have to drive all the way to Northpark's Albertsons to do some late-night grocery shopping! Sure, it's only a couple miles further down Culver, but that's a couple miles too much IMO. If I wanted to live miles away...

I would imagine that the 1,000 residential units that have been built in the adjacent community over the past 2 years (plus the 3,190 units to be built over the next ten years) was a major factor in deciding to come back. Figures provided by...

The congestion on Sunset Cove is largely because of the landscape construction in the newly-built homes. I've lived at La Vita for over a year now, and I can assure you that no sane La Vita owner parks their car on the street (unless they're one of the two homes flanking the piazza, and even...

Cava Grill opened recently at the Crossroads where Veggie Grill used to be. Basically like Chipotle in the sense that it's a "build-your-own" kind of restaurant, but with Greek/Mediterranean grain bowls, salads, and pitas. I really like it. Been there three times already.

The $4M tag is impressive at first glance, but it's not that inflated when you consider the obscene amount of upgrades that are in these homes. In the Capri model, landscaping itself looked like it cost over $600,000 (and that's a modest estimate...). All the interior upgrades + landscaping add...

Other factors played into this that we don't know about. The other Ugly Pie location in El Segundo also closed, so this was likely a matter of deeper financial issues, not shopping center toxicity. The rest of the tenants in the shopping center seem to be doing just fine. Come to think of it...

The 12,000-seat facility is the temporary solution. It says that in the article. It's going to be licensed for three years until a permanent amphitheater is constructed in the Cultural Terrace.

I don't have any information on this, but it may be because the first homes sold at Varenna were pre-plotted with structural options. This probably hiked the price up for the first homes sold, therefore causing for a seemingly-out-of-the-ordinary situation where the second phase costs less than...

The price is pretty reasonable now, no? This is how they should have priced the house from the beginning. Now it's just a stale listing.
