Do you guys have a good home inspector to recommend?

Kris, interesting to hear you mention that.  I went though the new home buy process before and never thought to hire my own home inspector.  I just used the one the builder used to walk through with us.  I figured if anything breaks, we have warranty through the builder.  Is it best practice...

Aren?t most Irvine lots 5 feet width so 10 feet total between homes?

Omomo off Culver is what we have been trying lately.  The online only ordering system makes it easy.  I avoid the Omomo off Alton/Jeffrey at all costs.  Sunlight Tea Studio has pretty good milk tea but not many varieties for milk tea.  Not sure what the craze is about Orobae.  We tried it and...

Kris - have not had a chance to see them yet.  Would you say the elevation is higher or lower than Trevi to Saviero?  Or more like Capella to Vizenca?

We were wondering this also.  What are everyone?s thoughts who have been to the community?  Would you pay the view premium or a lot premium with no view in a later phase? When the homes below are built out, will you see the rooftops or are the elevations high enough so you only see skyline views?

Has anyone had issues with neighbors who leave their dogs outside and barking randomly? I read that it is a domestic disturbance only if the dogs bark repeatedly for 30 minutes straight or they bark a total aggregate of one hour per day. So you call the Irvine PD, what can they really do? And...

So I?ve been on both sides of the fence.  When I order food to go, some places charge me tax only when the item is heated.  Say subway, if I order a sandwich to go, and I get it toasted, then tax is applied.  If the sandwich is cold, there is no tax.  But I?ve also been charged tax on cold items...

I thought it was ok.  Bronx has better sandwiches in my opinion but they are heavy.

Seriously, but for some reason, these La Vita resales are selling well.  Selling better than any other resales at the Groves.  Maybe once the Groves sell out, La Vita and the Vistas will help bring up the prices of the area. 

I have ordered items from online retailers and Amazon and have always been charged tax where it is delivered.  In this case, living in OC, tax is 7.75%  I have even ordered things from brick and mortar retailers based in Los Angeles, whose tax rate is higher at 9.5%, but they charge me tax based...

So what is causing people to buy these resales?  Smaller than some of the bigger homes, yet higher price per sq ft https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/77-Sunset-Cv-92602/home/58551711?utm_source=ios_share&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=copy_link&utm_nooverride=1&utm_content=link Nice resale in 3...

Another plan 4 popping on the market for $3.9m Ambitious if you ask me.  But a lot of La Vita resales have done surprisingly well.  I remember when these first came out, people complained about the piazza and the townhome feel.  People thought these wouldn?t sell well.  But these have been the...

I read that Costco adds a second year warranty to the purchase of washers and dryers.  Has anyone purchased from them?  I have existing ones upstairs.  Just worried about the removal and delivery of it.  Anytime you move heavy appliances, there is chance of damaging flooring, walls etc esp from...

So would you say Varenna and Padova are better priced for what they offer?

Agreed on the inefficiency.  Compared to Dings Tea, they are very slow.  We used to go to Luxsweet but they have raised their prices so drinks with boba are almost $6 which is high.  So we stopped going there.

What are considered odd hours? 

I?m still mad we drafted Ball the bust when we should have drafted Taytum.

There is always a line at this tea shop located on Alton and Jeffrey.  I finally tried it after waiting 15 minutes.  I heard some people wait close to one hour.  It?s good but damn, never seen so many people line up for boba before.

I was looking at the Vista homes and I noticed the backyards have glass walls on the side so that you van peer into your neighbors yard.  It?s a small section on the sides but it appears that they did this for all the view lots.  Anyone know why they built them like this?
