These are nice homes, but they are certainly not spectacular. They appear to have few custom or unique features. The pictures of the Lassen house in particular show just a series of basic rooms with a strip of crown molding and the predictable white plantation shutters on the windows. There is...

Last weeks well-publicized gangland shooting at the busy intersection right outside CityPlace, with the 18 year old dead gangster crashing his Cadillac into the mall planter across the street from these condos, can't be doing much to help sales here. It just shows how close CityPlace is to the...

Hilarious news on Tamra Barney and her brilliant "wait out the market" strategy!

Thanks for the update NoWowWay. These towers are such a prominent reminder of the Bubble and the Crash, standing there dark and silent when I drive on the 55 Freeway in the evening. It's eery. I wonder what is up with the Astoria twin towers down at Central Park West? I haven't been...

I would in no way classify these OC Housewives and their families as "rich". At best they are upper-middle class, but since they've been living off of HELOC's and credit cards for much of the last decade, even the upper-middle class category is a bit of a stretch. But in no way are these people...

Hmm. I have noticed that some of the lofts have small businesses on the ground floor, but many are still empty. But the "mechanical shades" is something I haven't noticed. When I drive in there in the evening to go to Pinkberry or Schmicks the windows are all just unadorned. They are...

After watching last weeks episode and seeing how horribly trashy and tasteless <strong>Tamra Barney</strong>, <strong>Simon Barney</strong>, and Tamra's creepy son <strong>Ryan Vieth </strong>behaved at their <strong><em>"formal dinner party"</em></strong> and date rape event, I am very curious...

There was an OC Register article on CityPlace about a year ago. The gist of the article was that sales were extremely slow, and many speculators who reserved a unit or two had backed out and left even more units empty. But the quote I remember is from the developer himself who stated he was...

And that's just from the sub-prime stuff from earlier in '08 that wasn't used as much in South County as it was in Riverside. Wait 'til the Alt-A and Option ARM stuff hits in '09 and '10!

As I remember the now-defunct Skyline website (that started this thread), the unit sizes ranged from about 1,200 square feet for the one bedrooms plus den, to about 2,000 square feet for the two bedrooms plus den. There were about two dozen penthouses spread between the two towers that were...

I had an older aunt who lived in Ladera from '03 to '05 after a divorce, and she hated it. She said her neighbors were trying desperately to live beyond their means and seemed to be a bit disingenous with who they were and what they had achieved in life. It was just creepy, because everybody...
