It's easy because we lived in the Oaks of Calabasas, every day we walked pass the Laing homes on the way to see the sunset, and we would see that exact elevation with the stairs leading to the upper level unit.

This is also the same floorplan/elevation for the Laing Luxury homes in the Oaks of Calabasas selling in the mid 2 millions to mid 3 millions.

I agree that it looks ghetto to see the cars parked along the curb on the main road between the two gates, I thought it would have been a better idea to not have any parking along the curb to maintain the nice appearance along the length of the main road in front of the apartments. Those...

The letter about the garage inspection at OH says cars that are parked outside and aren't moved in three days will be towed, and this policy will be strictly enforced. The person at the leasing office says they are doing this because the parking lot situation is seriously overcrowded. Is he...

I read that Houston had an invasion of crazy ants that don't march sedately in line like the small Argentine ants we have in CA, have you seen those and if so please make sure they don't follow along too...:)

Playing in the street is dangerous for kids and drivers. I'm happy kids don't play in the street in Irvine. It's much safer and quieter for kids to play in parks. I wouldn't move to a neighborhood with a bunch of kids in the streets or basketball hoops cluttering the sidewalks and streets.

i'm surprised they sold two model homes around those prices in the million and half range, seems way overpriced. Would be interesting to see how much the last model home goes for. It would seem pretty depressing to live there after paying those prices surrounded by vacant lots day in and day...

The last apartment I had on a 9 month lease, I stored boxes in the garage instead of a car, and the leasing office never gave me a hard time but fortunately at Orchard Hills I can store a lot of boxes and also park my two cars (the two car garages with independent doors are extra-long, fairly...

I had heard 99 Ranch was going to be a tenant, making it the 3rd 99 Ranch in Irvine, but then read HMART is going to be a tenant, so I'm wondering is HMART going in instead of 99 Ranch, or are both going in? If both, that would be a pretty interesting shopping experience.

Lazy question, because it's probably been discussed here somewhere but is there going to be both an HMART and a 99 Ranch at the Diamond Plaza? I thought it was the 99 Ranch, then I read somewhere HMART was moving in; I had never heard of HMART but it seems like a good competitor and will...

I think someone asked for specific details on actual people with actual salaries and down payments and their plans for buying $1 million homes, which is why IPO provided that info. $200K income is in the top percentiles and $400K equity is also in the top percentiles so that is indeed a lot of...

Irvine's a great urban area for boomer retirees, lots of things to do in a safe urban setting close to authentic ethnic enclaves and upscale places.

what's a walkaway price and what does it do? if the escrow is for say $700,000, would the walkaway price be higher?

ten and ipo, what do you think about the aprilia shiver? I'm thinking about that or a ducati 696 or triumph street triple, and maybe even the slower-paced triumph bonneville or moto guzzi breva 750. the orchard hills apartments have extended length two car garages that can hold two cars and...

Maybe the owners of the portable basketball hoop are nice but hoops like these should be in driveways so kids play in the driveway and not illegally placed on sidewalks or streets making kids play in the street and blocking traffic. I never had much problem with it until the neighbor from hell...

what's EWB?

what are the parking regulations like?

Actually I would be very happy if there were just a main page that had all topics from all forums that with un-nested comments that if I click on the topic it would take me to the new comments from the last time I checked, just like the old IHB, just that would make me very happy. Would that be...

I wish there were no nested comments, it flowed so much better the old way when you read a post and scroll down to read more comments instead of seeing the original post and the other comments over again, it's a lot of work to mentally look for the new comments and disregard the old comments...

i agree, now it's "work" to check IHB whereas before it was addictive when I could easily check what's new (it takes me to the latest comment) and everything was on one page so I could just scroll down to which interesting topics to check out. That was part of the fun, to see topics I didn't...
