    Cracking Natural Stone Countertop

    Sorry to see that happen to you! That's just awful. At the 10 year mark you'll be receiving solicitations in the mail from lawyers asking to participate in a neighborhood class action lawsuit against the builder for building defects. Make sure you join in the lawsuit, if you still own the home...

    Irvine School District too Competitive and Backfires?

    If your kid is on the AP track, I believe it is just as good as Uni or Northwood. Beckman ranks lower, since it does have a higher percentage of kids from lower socio-economic backgrounds. If I recall about 25% of the students qualify for the reduced/free lunch program. If the population of...

    Irvine School District too Competitive and Backfires?

    It's true! My daughter was told by the admissions counselor from Vanderbilt that she would be easily admitted, if she went to a lesser competitive high school. The counselor explained that since she's Beckman student, the bar is set really high for admittance requirements compared to lesser...

    Is it better to invest in Irvine, San Francisco, Vegas, Johns Creek or the IE?

    That house is overbuilt for the area. The neighboring houses are single story ranch style with half the square footage.

    New to Irvine, seeking opinions for a property in Walnut Village/College Park

    For me, any house near railroad tracks or power lines is a big NO, no matter how much I love the interior. Go there at night when the trains are running and see if you can tolerate the noise. From what friends have told me in the past, it's the freight trains that rattle your house when it...

    What's coming in orchard hills shopping center?

    Glad they'll be back!! What a fiasco it was though. FTC forces them to sell due to the merger. Small time Haggen buys them and then declares bankruptcy 6 months later. Pavilions moves back in again. So, FTC what was the whole point of forcing the sale if the end result is the same as the...

    Irvine top-ranked in nation for well-managed finances

    I was shocked to read that Santa Ana was included on the list. I would have never thought they were well managed.  Although it might not be in the near future if they get federal funding cut off for being a sanctuary city.

    Taking care of your Greatest Asset: Your Physical Health

    Glad to hear that cancer wasn't the diagnosis for Mr. SoCal! I have lost close family members to cancer and others who are cancer survivors. It's always a relief when the diagnosis comes back negative. It's also good that you are being proactive now if the worst does happen to Mr. SoCal. Funny...
