OMG! So pretty! I think I need a tissue...

Also, add in downloadable price lists, site plans, etc. Basically all the information anyone has for each development.

I've had a similar fantasy idea for such a website. But, I wouldn't limit mine to just Irvine. I'd love to see Google get into this; click on a dwelling on their maps site and get the floorplan. Nationwide. That said, I've kept all my brochures over the years, from when I bought my first new...

I don't see this as being completed. The toll road traffic is still below forecasts, and this would only draw more traffic off the toll road. I don't expect any public official will ever admit this, but I fear it's been tabled due to lobbying behind the scenes.

The room temperature also goes up faster the more difference there is between the outdoor temp and indoor temp, hence more cycles running the greater the temperature difference.

73 during daytime. 68 for the few hours before heading to bed. I'm a very sensitive sleeper and the sound of air moving is annoying to me when trying to go to sleep, so we usually shut if off before going to bed. When the nights cool off to around 60 or so, we'll open the windows at night. But...

I prefer the green Japanese maples (non-fall season, that is). The bloodgood tends to be redder the more sun it has, greener with red tinge to leaves in shade. I actually don't know the variety of my tree in the courtyard. All I told my landscaper was I wanted a green variety. Kinda regret not...

Bloodgood is a good variety, I have a couple in my side yard in front of windows and it's mostly shade there with a bit of morning sun. They do well and look nice. The main one I have in my courtyard gets a lot of sun, but I keep it well-watered and it seems to tolerate the sun with only a bit...

On our plans, we just called it "Acer Palmatum". It's planted in our courtyard, a couple of feet away from the house, not near any other structures.

Went and visited these this past weekend. Wow! Three great homes, three great floorplans. Nothing outrageously offensive about any floor plan. I could quibble with small aspects of each, but if I were in the market to buy a new home in North OC, these would be at the top of my interest list.

Good point! If it keeps the kids out of the models, open the park!

Ban all kids from public areas, and you have a deal!

When I read the subject line of this post, I thought it was that children weren't welcome at the models. First, I think you're being a bit dramatic by saying they're not welcome. It seems to me they're just not welcome to take advantage of a playground where they're not residents (yet). I have...

We have 3 ovens. Do it.

Furthermore, when I like a floorplan/home, I like it, regardless of the builder. Browse my past posts and you'll see. Two of my favorite floorplans of the hundreds of homes I've looked at were from Standard Pac Homes (Alta Plan 1 at Talega) and one of the two floorplans from Warmington Homes at...

Plan 1 upstairs bedroom isn't a bedroom suite? Not that I'm looking to buy, but if I were, that'd be an automatic disqualification for consideration of this floorplan for me. For homes of this size (and price), the least I'd expect are bedroom suites for all secondary bedrooms.

Uhhh... it's Newport Beach.

I'm an employee of TNHC? Damn! I wish I would've known that when I bought my home at Lambert Ranch. I could've gotten an employee discount! If you bothered to look into my old posts, you'd see that I'm merely a satisfied TNHC customer. But, maybe your time is too valuable to go looking into...

The difference being...? My pics weren't from the grand opening weekend. My pics were from a preview event.

Plan 3 Photos I only have a couple photos of Plan 2. Didn't take many because that floorplan didn't really appeal to me. Plan 3 Entrance Plan 3 Entrance Plan 3 Kitchen/Wine Room Plan 3 Kitchen Plan 3 Family Room Plan 3 Great Room Plan 3 Great Room Plan 3 Great Room Plan 3 Great...
