SVUSD is experiencing declining enrollment so Toll Brothers will need to significantly look into their funding plan besides builders fees in lieu of MR. This would continue to populate ETHS which is experiencing quite a revival.

I'd stay away from any high school as those campuses appear to have activities (traffic) between 6:30am and 10pm in addition to summer camps.

Drove by Parkside today and really wonder where the kids can go due to two busy streets and schools out of reach. Toll really needs buffered walking/bicycling paths and a pedestrian bridge to make these homes family friendly. Otherwise, the fast moving traffic is too dangerous.

I've been pleased with Costco purchased tires, but always suggest making an appointment for rotations. Otherwise the line will be hours. They will retorque without waiting though. A caution, however obvious. You still must align the tires elsewhere.

Third vote for Agora (+1)!

Great park pedestrian bridges!

After knowing someone who owned a 2bed/2bath condo with four floors, I would strongly recommend against it. It's great if you are renting out one room, but walking the stairs gets old really fast.

It would take time, but I would build an underground parking lot, the next floor would be the storefronts, followed by urban style flats on the second floor. Obviously a huge investment, but it would provide built in customers for the shops and a few less car trips for the residents.

The last thing the developers want is an "empty" park and soccer will absorb every available field...if allowed. I think there is a level of insecurity to have open space where families can sit and relax, throw a ball, etc. I'm still a fan of walking, cycling trails with some type of lake to...

Compleletly agree. It's about $6,500 per year at a CSU. Yes, there is more of an experience to live away from home, but if it's about saving money, then it's a great deal to commute.

Do we know if the southern portion of District 5 (and 6) will have the same Mello-Roos since it is zoned to SVUSD? That district will most likely not consider a school for these residences as they are not even discussing a school for Baker Ranch, which had developer fees paid in one lump sum...

Most people are searching for new properties in Irvine, but what about searching for a single family home in Woodbridge? The first negative is obviously age of the property, but would the positives of small community parks and no Mello-Roos make it worth considering over the newer areas? What...

Not a fan of taxes, but have to agree with the BC style tax. It's time to rein in these home sales when residents of Irvine who were born in the city no longer have the option to grow old in their city. Of course we all know the builders will defeat this through unlimited contributions to the...

Glad to see the city is in the planning stages to expand the Jeffrey Open Space Trail. It provides families with a nice walk, a safe ride for cyclists, and could potentially become an alternative method of transportation for IVC students. We are excited for this improvement, but hope the city...

Schools are constantly being forced to save pennies so I'd be concerned whether new school construction or old. Just the reality for education. One local district will not be completing their traditional summertime cleaning of their facilities to save money. Don't worry it's not IUSD (NIMBY fans).

Or it could be a city trade as the Clippers return to San Diego because we sadly chose to accept/steal the Chargers. JK

Sadly I haven't seen the Toll Brothers representative at any school board meetings to rezone these homes to nearby Trabuco Hills HS. With these properties zoned for El Toro and the lack of safe walkways or bike lanes the price is way too high for my family's safety.

Just wait for all of the confusion involving the new school rating system...should be fun for a realtor to explain.

High school students may take community college courses for free, which guarantees college credit when compared to AP classes. AP classes can be very political at the local school and it is run by the for profit College Board. I would strongly encourage any capable high school student to choose...

Be prepared to estimate costs of refurbishing between tenants. Those costs alone and missed rent during a vacancy may make you reconsider anything too drastic as well.
