<p>that's great, thanks Yahoo. </p> <p>I have a toddler myself, and I was worried about whether there are any activities for kids. I'm going over there tomorrow to look at everything and maybe put a hold on the apartment if I find anything I like (I better, that is pretty much my only choice...

<p>Who says I'm against combining both? Spoil your kids and be involved in their lives, let them get the best of the both worlds :)</p> <p>Jpxdigital: if your dad paid more attention to you and was more involved in your life, you'd have nothing to be unhappy about, right? I'm not planning to...

<p>I'm for spoiling your kids!</p> <p>When I was a kid, my parents didn't have much money, but even when they did have enough to spend more on me (the only child BTW) they would always deny my requests for new brand name clothes or gadgets or whatever, I guess b/c they tried to teach me...

<p>there was a huge landslide in Anaheim Hills a few years back, and about 300 homes are still affected because they are included in the landslide zone (which means they have to pay a monthly fee to a city to maintain and stabilize the hills they are on or something like that). I don't live...

<p>Thanks Wendyinoc and Vicstah, that really helps! I have to decide quickly (under a week) and I'm not particularly good at negotiating better rent. </p> <p>Any specific tips as to how to negotiate better rent (what works and what doesn't), anybody? </p>

<p>Hi folks, </p> <p>I'm seriously considering moving to the Village Apartments (floor plan for 2bdr+office apartment, called Serena) and I need some advice. </p> <p>Is there anything to know about that particular apartment complex? </p> <p>They have 3 of those floor plans available...

that's interesting, I kind of always assumed that all dryers give that burnt smell, I'll check into that :) To avoid that stiffness (I know exactly what you are talking about), just don't leave it on the line for 2 days, as soon as it is dry, take it off, it could be as little as few hours...

To <a href="http://forums.irvinehousingblog.com/account/26/">EvaLSeraphim</a> <p>You are right about that, but actually, I do live in a townhome with CC&Rs, but I hang the clothes on the line in my laundry room (nobody can't see it from the outside), and if you open a window and the door, the...

<p>my 2 cents: </p> <p>I swear by my GE washer (just get the Energy star-marked one). I got it at Sears. Cheap, reliable, has all the options you might need. </p> <p>For those people who know my love of organic/back to nature lifestyle it would come as no surprise that I don't own a dryer, I...

join a health club (I kind of like 24 hour Sports), it is much more fun to run the treadmill there, you can do people watching at the same time, and there are so many other choices of activities there.

just checked that listing, and, apparently, it's been taken off the market. Do they read our posts? :) Maybe.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, I think it is related: any good night clubs/night dancing places in the OC where you can go dance the night away, without being surrounded by drunk teenagers with fake IDs? I only went to Landmark in CDM and Club M in Laguna Beach and Landmark dancing is...

<p>I know Newport Heights area. I remember a few years back they used to actually be either Santa Ana or Costa Mesa's territory, but fought hard to join Newport :)</p> <p>You are right, there are neighborhoods just like that in every city. I work in Newport, so I guess I'm stuck in the south...

<p>Let me clarify: I was actually describing Lake Forest SFRs I'm passing by every other day. I doubt that all of them are rented out. Even so, do you really want to live next door to blaring music, 7 junk cars parked in each driveway, and bunch of unruly kids? I'm not even talking about cheap...

I considered Lake Forest, but chose Laguna Niguel over it. Most neighborhoods in LF are too close to the freeway for my taste, and some of them look pretty shady (like the ones around Carlota, Ridgeroute, and so on. The closer to the freeway, the worse they look. Lots of mobile homes and cheap...

House of Cards: That's pretty laughable. I will continue to care about zip codes, and will never move to Santa Ana. And if you feel happy and secure with living in a crappy neighborhood, more power to you. Everybody else: I think another downside to Floral Park is that many homes were...

I still don't buy it :) What is this, some sort of an oasis? Do gang members and garden variety burglars have certain respect for the homes of the rich and powerful? Even so, the zip code makes it not worth it for me. Maybe I'm just getting picky, I'm starting to hate living even in Laguna Niguel :)

I disagree with the views expressed here about Floral Park. By definition, it cannot be safe. It is Santa Ana after all. Are you saying that gang members wouldn't bother to not even drive, but walk for a couple of blocks to break into a nice 800K house? How would you feel living in 800K Floral...

<p>A "blog reader" position, I'd like that one. I'm doing this for my own pleasure for free now :)</p>

Trooper, now you picked my curiosity, what kind of questions are we talking about? :)
