    San Clemente

    https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Clemente/311-Calle-Felicidad-92672/home/4992194 Obsessed with this house, has everything I am looking for (single story, ocean view, open concept, move in ready, craftsman styling, decent size yard), just not in love with the price tag.  Looks like someone bought...

    Belvedere at Eastwood

    A family member is on the list for the single story, they will likely pass due to the price and the fact you can't park on the driveway. Not that they will park on the driveway, but just knowing you can't is a turn off.

    looking for single story condo/townhouse/SFR

    You should go check it out again with another person and test it for yourself. Since I did the stomping, I didn't get to hear how loud it is. The Plan 1 layout is great and my Mom was already deciding what options she wanted, so she was pretty disappointed. I think at that price point, your...

    looking for single story condo/townhouse/SFR

    I went to check out Avalon with my folks as an investment property, with the idea they can move there from their current 2-story house when they get older.  The layout of Plan 1 is great and I think enough space for 2 people.  My folks had me run upstairs and stomp around, so they can assess the...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    I disagree Plan 2 is the least popular plan, it depends on the lot. Earlier on, a few Plan 1s took some time to sell. For the price, the downstairs living space is a bit small in Plan 1. The living room feels cramped if you don't get a conservatory.

    Spoiled FCB kids

    It's so annoying to hear these cars early in the morning/late a night when you are trying to sleep...and I don't even live next to a busy street!

    Eastwood is way over priced

    While it may be a "very nice mobile home community", it is still a mobile home community.  Call me a snob, but I don't want to pay $1M+ to live across a trailer park.

    Eastwood versus Orchard Hills pricing

    My vote is OH in terms of location, however, Piedmont wins in this battle because it has a full driveway.  Who wants to pay over $1M and feel like you're living in a townhouse community.  Terrazza is a sitting duck, you rarely see cars in the sales office parking lot on weekends.

    Eastwood is way over priced

    I don't see the upside for Eastwood.  It's across from a mobile home park, which is next to a public storage.  On the other side, it neighbors old townhouses or are those apartments?  OH is way more premium with character and personally I would prefer to sit higher up than on a flat piece of...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Are the two lots equally good and meet your requirements?  I would personally put more weight on lot location than exterior and color.  We prefer a cooler house, so we avoid buying homes where the afternoon sun shines on the main living areas (great room, kitchen, master bedroom), since...

    Orchard Hills - Messina by TRI Pointe Homes

    I personally think if the home feels right for you, then it's a good house.  Feng Shui was based out thinkings/beliefs from hundreds of years ago.  They are not practical or realistic is this day and age.  Sure, I will not buy a house that's 44 or on a T junction (but that's because I don't...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Congratulations on your new home!  Aside from this particular neighbor, have you met/seen other neighbors?  What's the demographics?

    Macy's Irvine Spectrum closing

    Maybe it'll be renovated to something similar to the Anaheim Packing District, with more food options and boutiques?

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    The view side of Bountiful is my favorite street in the whole community, I especially like Lot 10, which is a Plan 2.  I agree on the traffic noise from Narrow Path and Twisted Oak, almost everyone in Neighborhood II passes by that intersection on a daily basis.

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    Was up in Orchard Hills yesterday, so decided to drive through Capella, since my Redfin saved search indicates a number of houses on Long Fence.  I now see why 114 Long Fence isn't selling, it has a parking lot right in front of it.  I wouldn't want people parked in front of my $1.4M house! ...

    new home builders

    Check out Patterson Custom Homes on Instagram, looks like they're in Newport Beach.  Stunning kitchens and bathrooms that I can only dream of.

    Single Story Homes

    Did I read that right...they're literally building FOUR Belevedere single story homes?!  I like the floorplan and was hoping for my aunt to get one, now I know we won't have a chance.

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Agreed, surprised they're already in phase 25, aren't there only 30 phases in total?  The first two cul de sacs on both sides as you enter Strada have been framed/started to be framed, they're moving fast.  I wonder what the base prices are for the new releases. Still question why Quarter Horse...

    Value of your own driveway in Irvine

    I agree with this, I think it impacts the $1M+ home more than a $700K home.  Look at Terrazza in OH, I honestly think that product would be selling better if it's a zero lot line with a driveway versus shared driveway.
