61 Scarlet Bloom is a single level condo at ground level with 59 Scarlet Bloom directly above it. Didn't get to go into the unit but my observations are that it has three problems that can't be remedied -- it has nice big windows but is a corner unit with a stop sign in front of it so everyone...

I haven't seen 61 Scarlet Bloom yet but that fits my criteria almost exactly, about 1500 sf one level condo. I love our 1300 sf one level apartment in a new IAC complex, but rental parity value for 61 Scarlet Bloom would put it at $375,000, given the high $375 HOA and 1.8% total prop taxes...

Has anyone seen fish liver sold at any market in the Irvine/Orange ounty area?

Can I still use my Microsoft Office for XP disks that I bought back in 2003/2004 to install on a new Vista notebook, or do I have to buy/upgrade new software?

So many things can go wrong with ordering a sofa, I'll never order another sofa again. I ordered on sofa with the premium leather and the sofa I got was DEFINITELY a cheaper leather in a different shade and a much softer to the point of uncomfortably soft stuffing, but how could I prove it, they...

Exactly, if the family lived within their means they'd be able to easily afford their house even with his cut in pay, on the original mortgage of say $150,000. I have some sympathy for people who bought in say 2005 and are upside down on their original mortgage but no sympathy for people who...

When Orchard Hills starts selling.

Cox is expensive I think my monthly bill for Internet, 2 HD boxes, 2 DVRs, and phone service is $150/month, but their customer service is very good IMHO.

Thanks for the article. I think the high end appeared "fine" even as recent as July 2008 but went really bad after the stock market meltdown in 2008 that is continuing in 2009 with the S&P and Dow having the worst January in history, down around 8% YTD and down 50% from last year's peak. Rich...

Those prices are so 2005 ha ha.

That WSJ article needs a subscription, you could post the article?

What is the difference between a rental unit, a guest suite, a multigenerational suite and a granny flat? To me, these all have stairs leading to a room with a full bath that is not attached to the main house. I personally don't like the idea of a separate unit over the garage for say my kids...

A big thank you to the OP for this topic, we tried out three restaurants this week, the Buddha, the Dublin Pub and Harborside, great food and great ambiance, went to places we normally would not have heard of, and the prices were like ordering an entree and getting the appetizer and dessert for...

I had a neighbor who moved in directly across the street from me, who left their garage door open day and night, literally from 8am to 11pm. I moved a few years ago, and occasionally I go back to the old neighborhood, and everytime, the garage door is open, with the usual messy stuff inside a...

Not only is tandem parking completely inconvenient for ordinary people, I can't imagine living in a space 13 feet across ... I'm not claustrophobic by nature but I kept thinking claustrophobia when I walked through the loft model. Ugh, now thinking about it, I wouldn't live in the narrow...

After seeing the Cityplace and Barker (L.A.downtown) lofts, I thought it'd be unique and "cool" to live in an unconventional loft, but the problem is developers are selling loft type units at premiums to conventional floorplans when loft living is actually less convenient than traditional...

We visited this development today and can see the attraction of this development to the young Asian demographic, but personally, there are way too many stairs. I don't see how they could bring furniture up the narrow stairways. There is one model where you enter the front door, then have to go...

We went to the Taco Mesa at the Irvine Marketplace last week for the first time, and the food was surprisingly good for a "gringo" location like the Marketplace, and the service was very good as well. We enjoyed the complimentary appetizer thing instead of chips. I did have a very irritating...

No doubt lean beef/pork, white turkey meat and canned tuna is healthier...but it's good to have an occasional treat...:)

It's a bit hard to describe but I'll try...the meat around the fish collar is different in texture from the filet, like the difference between dark turkey and turkey breast. The fish collars remind me of the more flavorfull (to me) dark meat while the fish filet remind me of the dryer white...
