I read an article in the Orange County Register stating how the residents of Fountain Valley are older and tend to live there longer and thus tend to keep property taxes low. I have a friend who graduated from Fountain Valley High School and is currently working there. He says that his...

Really don't want to argue the other points. But Newport Harbor is 92663...that's where "Newport Harbor" High is located. With the bay and the beach, you're always close to water. 92660 is East Bluff and Newport North. It is not "Newport Harbor" - it doesn't even touch the harbor. By the...

Wow BK... Wow. Very interesting. Most of my family lives in Garden Grove or Westminster. Half of my friends live in Huntington while the other half lives in Irvine. My Irvine friends like the newness of their home and the proximity to work. My Huntington friends like the laid-back beach...

Umm... South County is all about newness. Isn't that a universal fact? People from older North County moved to newer South County such as Ladera, Coto, Mission Viejo, Foothill Ranch, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, etc. because it's newer. South County is all about being new versus North County...

Graphrix, I'm beginning to think that you're purposely being antagonistic just to get responses from me. I think you need to chill out a little. I would argue your points, but I'll just let the others digest them by themselves. Unlike you, I like Huntington, Fountain Valley, and Irvine. From...

Irvine people feel that newness, niceness, being close to work, and having good schools are important. Huntington people feel that the beach life style is ideal. In my opinion, I think Irvine is winning. Just look at it's population growth compared to HB in the past 10 years. HB is...

Ok bk, I get your point now. You're referring to old in terms of being classic/collectible. I was just talking about old as in bad fixtures, faulty plumbing, broken down structures, and ugly design. But I'm talking about the average consumer wanting to buy a house without fear of the roof...

Okay, I'm tired of arguing new vs old... and inland versus coastal. So I decided to get some data. For a 3-4 bedroom home with approximatedly 2200-2250 s.f. in Irvine - Ave sale price if built more than 30 years ago... $810,900 Ave sale price if built within the past 10 years...

I'll say it again, I do not own. But I am seriously considering buying an older condo in Fountain Valley - a location I prefer, or buying a newer condo in Tustin/Irvine. As of now, I still prefer an older condo in FV. But I'm not narrow-minded enough to say... older is better than newer...

How about some real examples okay. Out of all the people I know who moved to Irvine, I asked why they didn't choose Fountain Valley? Their answer... Irvine is newer. Many, many, many people prefere buying a newer house so they don't have to worry about the roof or the pipes or the plumbing...

I know two people who live at Columbus Square. These are their pros and cons: Pros: 1. Centrally located. 2. New. Cons: 1. Empty lots nearby. I think CS might be half done by the end of 2009. It could be mostly done by 2012???? 2. Landscaping is crap compared to...

I think that for the past 30 years, people have always prefer to buy SFR over condos. But with the lack land, condos are more acceptable now and for the next 30 years. I agree with everyone who stated that condos were hard to unload in the previous downturns. But I really see condos as...

I have a few friends living in West Irvine and they love it. Personally, I think it's a very nice place to be - right between Tustin Ranch and Northpark. If you like the location, I think it's a great neighborhood. And the students go to Beckman - the newest high school in Irvine...

without sunblock or sunscreen? isn't skin cancer the most common cancer?

Do you guys really care that much for Tustin Legacy? Personally, I don't think it's that great nor do I think it's that bad. I think it's interesting to have so much development right in the middle of Orange County, but that's it. I think I would literally jump like a wild monkey if...

Um.. freedom, why are you addressing me while quoting someone else? And what's with this animosity towards high school teachers? I know a fella who worked twenty years in aerospace before switching to teaching. I know another girl who's getting her teaching credentials right now although she...

Graphrix, I know Villa Park is one of the most expensive areas in Orange County. And I admit the homes/estates are amazing. But some people simply prefer new. We all have different tastes right? By the way, Villa Park High doesn't compare to any of the Irvine schools in terms of facility...

hey acpme... beckman is actually located in irvine. foothill is located outside of tustin. Villa Park is not in Orange. And Canyon is in Anaheim Hills. I was referring to actual cities rather than districts. Underperforming schools are: 1. Tustin High in Tustin. 2. Most Santa...
