    Irvine schools

    Yes,  but IUSD had refurbished El Camino to use while they rebuilt Deerfield 2 years ago.  Why not use it now?  They still own it.

    Irvine schools

    IUSD has two school sites sitting empty right now-  El Camino and Westwood Basics.  They could reopen those.

    Irvine schools

    I thought I would give this topic a bump-- I'm experiencing growing disappointment with IUSD elementary schools as my kids age through the system.  The class sizes seem larger every year.  My older child was very lucky- she rode the wave of class size reduction and had only 18-20 kids in 1st...

    Possible Irvine 3-Car Garage Homes

    There are a few San Marinos with 3 car garages--  they are at the end of cul de sacs on the bigger lots.  I think there are probably less than 10 homes.  Very cool-- they were all sold by the time we saw them unfortunately    :'(

    2013 OC Register Elementary School Rankings

    We have found that the children in your kids classroom affect the learning environment as much, if not more, than the teacher.  You can have a great school and great teacher-- but if the mix of kids is caustic - it can ruin your year.

    The Branches - New homes in Woodbridge (Alderwood) by William Lyon

    I think it will be interesting to see how these models compare to the models at Willow Bend when that opens.  I already like those floorplans better with the slight tweaks they made.  I don't think Resmark is involved on the Willow Bend project.

    The Branches - New homes in Woodbridge (Alderwood) by William Lyon

    There were 6 lots released in phase 1a-  3 were in the middle.  The largest lot was 4200 sqft-  a bit less actually because you cannot use all of it due to the zero lot line easement.
