Met a mom that moved to Irvine and bought in PS two years ago.  They came from South County and moved to Irvine specifically for the schools. 

If they NIRP, then prices will go up.

The MR at Legado is $4831/year, Cressa is $5000/year, Indigo is $2700/year and Silverleaf is $3900/year. 

You are correct.  They will have affordable housing (see my previous post with links) in addition to regular apartments.  I think they are anticipating a lot of people wanting to move there before the new school opens.  The affordable housing portion is small (it will be at the SE corner of the...

I mean, NW Point and its vicinity was pretty ugly back then.  Kinda like Irvine Blvd and vicinity of PSIII now.  I think IUSD is positioning Portola HS as the next best HS (with all the technology and innovation).  If they finish the Great Park, the planned shopping center across the street...

It's just like when Northwood Point first opened.  I remember going out there and thinking it's out in the boonies.  It was brown, lots of dirt, nothing around.  My friend's sister bought a sfr for $350k.  Now the same type of house around there is going for $900-1mil.  It's after Northwood HS...

Any idea what the timing is on this community?  I am assuming it will be after PS3 is sold out.

I think the low wall is to stop Cressa residents from climbing up the slope to take a short cut to the PS5 parks, use the future Portola Pkwy bridge, reach the trails, etc.

There is supposed to be retail at Modjeska and Irvine Blvd which will be surrounded by one of the next Great Park neighborhoods.

Wish we had more choices but we need our oldest to bike to school since we have to leave for work pretty early in the morning.  Hence, need to buy closer to the new HS.

This community does seem very nice and the location is great as it is near shopping and good schools.  We are looking to buy but must buy near the new Portola HS as our oldest will be going there.  The selection of available homes near the new high school is not as good as those in Eastwood...

One Ford road community in NB is supposedly build upon toxic land and those homes have gone up significantly from their selling price.

Phase 2 will be right across from the new Portola Springs Rd extension which is elevated (like a ramp going up).  I wonder how that would be even with a low wall that they are already building.  I would think that would be noisy and an eyesore.

Legado phase 2 sign ups are this weekend.  The price for plan 3 is up about 40k (with pre-installed upgrades) and plan for 4 is up almost 60k (again with pre-installed upgrades).  They are now comparable to the phase one Cressa plan 1 prices (esp. plan 4) but of course these prices reflect the...

I like some of the floor plans at BP but the following cons keep me away from considering this community: 1)  The mello roos is almost twice that of Irvine Co communities at least for the homes we looked at. 2)  The mid century modern right next to traditional homes is not very pleasing to my...

Lennar is offering one year free HOA amongst other incentives for their Rowland town homes.  But their regular HOA is over $500/month which is insane.  I don't think anyone is going to look forward to paying those dues after the free term is over.

No, we only had two lots submitted to them.  Review of two lots and one floor plan was about $300.  If I wanted additional lots, then we would have had to pay $300 for the lot review (but only with putting them in order best to worst but with no rational - that would be extra), and then we would...

I would like to understand the rationale behind his pronoucements and make an informed decision.  If I cannot get a more detailed information from my current FS consultant other than "Not buy" because of the master bedroom, then I would like to gain further understanding as to the inner workings...

Yes my family is an influence as they have followed  feng shui for their homes and businesses and swears by it.  But they are from the old country and far away from us.  We are still new to the concept and quite confused with the different schools and sometimes conflicting approaches. Our...
