There's a bike/walking trail that links Quail Hill to Bommer Canyon.  You're not supposed to leave the trail, but it's possible.  I wouldn't be surprised if security came to try to arrest you if you attempted to wander around on your own.  For open houses I'm pretty sure you have to call the...

No, Bank of America paid her to live next to Harvard.  I don't know if I'm reading this article right, but it sounds like she made $300,000 on the deal. http://lansner.ocregister.com/2011/05/06/housewife-lenders-conspiring-to-kick-her-out/108875/

I'm not sure.  It could be Orchard Hills.  BK or Cameray would probably know.  I miss the "where in Irvine is this" game that they would play. http://www.irlandmarks.org/Explore/Orchard-Hills.aspx

I never mentioned anything about moving.  I just wanted to point out that there are more than a handful of cities with a predominately hispanic population that are safe. Last week, some of the whitest areas of Los Angeles had a significant increase in crime.  Maybe it was a fluke since all of...

Compton is not as dangerous as it used to be.  http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jan/18/local/la-me-compton-crime-20110118.  Murders in LA have dropped to 1967 levels. http://www.latimes.com/la-me-la-crime-20101217,0,3986809.story Most of California's central valley is predominately hispanic and...

I think there are some people who choose not to buy in Irvine because they don't like the competitive nature of the schools.

I was looking at the foreclosure listings here:http://www.mypublicnotices.com/OrangeCounty/PublicNotice.asp and noticed a couple that said YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A LIEN FOR UNPAID ASSOCIATION ASSESSMENTS. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE.  The...

For me, I think the biggest problem with both forums is the way the posts are split up into different categories.  There aren't enough different topic posts to keep clicking each group to see if anything new has been posted since the last visit.

Ok, I know this is a stupid question, but the other day I was wondering who actually owns the land in Home Owners Associations like the greenbelts, pools, lanscaping areas, etc?  Is it city owned property or do the home owners own 1/1000th of it?

How am I supposed to convince my out-of-state relatives that the reason why Irvine housing is at a premium is because of the weather?

It was 2009-12-04.

As I remember the old forums, BK was one of the few who were actually able to understand and predict the Irvine housing market.

I wish the old Irvinehousingblog forums were still active.  I would love to see how the housing bears would explain the success of the new Irvine housing subdivisions and small percentages of foreclosures in the city. Everyone kept on saying that 2010 would mean those Alt-A loans would...

I would be so mad if I were reading that article (especially if I lived out-of-state) and booked a family vacation to Irvine.  I can't believe she left out the Orange Balloon, though.  I love some of the comments:       Really? 17 hours ago       Never knew it was so close to Huntington...

Now I see why you wouldn't want your kid walking to school: http://www.ocregister.com/news/brown-276246-state-santa.html Violent sex offender to be released in Irvine, Tustin or Santa Ana

I always say that I would love a house with a huge lot, but looking at all of that landscaping I don't know how I would manage.  Do you have gardeners or do you maintain those flower beds and mowed lawn yourself?

I went and it wasn't crowded at all.  I like the feeling of Stonegate East much better than Woodbury even if I don't like the name.  That was smart of them to have a huge parking lot out front.  It made all the difference in the world being able to avoid the crazy drivers who were trying to be...

I went to the Capistrano models in Stonegate East this weekend, and even though I'm not a tree expert I swear I saw a ficus tree (like the ones you see in Balboa Park) in the tiny back yard of one of the models homes.

I would give up any post 2000-built home for a ranch style home if I didn't have change locations.  In my opinion, houses in Santa Ana are a lot nicer than any Irvine home, but living in Irvine is 100x nicer than living in Santa Ana.
