my mind is mush now, given that we've looked on and off for over 2 years now.  i've seen so many houses and floorplans in every area imaginable.  from aliso to lake forest to irvine to tustin ranch to tustin to yorba linda and fullerton...  i'd have to ask the question to you IHO, what's at...

i forgot to mention... there's another forum if you want to trash irvine..  ocr...  and it's interesting... i feel a presence from ocr among us...

hmmm...  u sound like someone who was involved in those designs...    ;P

let's not scare everyone away, now...    for as much as socal loves laguna altura, there are 3x the number of people who will trash the place.  last i checked this is not a trash tic forum, but a place to talk about irvine real estate...  sure, they offer no value proposition, recycle plans...

nice article... ive driven through the area...  even noticed some newer homes that look like the calpac portisol type homes... 

yeah, im not contractor, but you have two issues to deal with.  the first, like IHO said - structural integrity - unless you don't mind ending up with posts to support where you demolished a load bearing wall (and i've seen this before in turtle rock).    second, is what you would do on the...

i'd trade a formal living room for the downstairs den/playroom with a door.    my mom still has furniture from when i was a child stored away in almost perfect condition... where is it stored?  her living room... just like Hollinger's PER (player effeciency rating for those who don't follow...

even in some SFR's, there are rooms built over garages - you will deal with some of the same noise..    I did visit a house that must have had an expensive opener, because it was pretty silent.  even with that, you can tell when a car comes home. 

im sure it was designed for me... but i wouldnt say for asian... im just an uninspired, busy person who doesnt want to deal with too much...    efficiency and functionality are a must for me...  i'm also pretty minimalistic and simple...  i dont want to garden, or paint, or design, or...

well... back in 2009, we decided to pre-register in December for the opening of the 2010 new home collection.  This was during a period of time that we saw prices falling through the floor...  at that time, i decided that it'd be better to hang on to our home.      i quickly find out that we...

legen....      not for the lactose intolerant...  dary... 

well... I hope I'm not jumping the gun, but our home is now in escrow...  After looking and tire kicking for a while, I decided to make a concerted push to find a long-term place to plant some roots (which now includes selling our current home).  After tossing around the idea of staying put...

I've read the same articles on health concerns...  and it is a valid concern.    First, the 133 doesn't get as much traffic as a regular freeway (which is the closest hwy to the development).    I would actually argue that a street like Jamboree or Culver (and soon to be Jeffrey and Sand...

im in the 92602... but we can't sell our house for squat!!!  west irvine definitely gets a bad rap....

personally, im still interested in laguna altura.  i decided i actually like the wok.  i like the isolation.  and i can deal with living off the freeway.  im not a fan of the price (cor can i afford it), but its not moving down (right now)...  they just sold 4 units (or took deposits on) in...

northpark - hicks canyon/ orchard hills/ boeckmann.  they are all very good schools.    boeckmann - not quite as highly rated, but still a great school (along with foothill).  don't underrate TUSD, there are a lot of great schools (elementary schools are great, and pioneer is also a great...

Currently, I have more Korean neighbors than Chinese.  However, 2 of my friends in Woodbury say all of their neighbors are Chinese.  Regardless, there is a lot of both ethnicities.  I think we'll see more of this in general as you have Shik Doh Rak in the same plaza as Taiko and Chinese...

tapatia taqueria in Santa Ana off Grand..  best tortas! if in LA, go for El Torino in Ktown off olympic and hoover

houston? ...  been to houston...  it's a downgrade from the IE...  worst climate...  EVER.    i dont care if it's emerging, i wouldnt place a bet there.    dallas?  meh...  know people in dallas and austin...  someone i know bought their house in dallas suburbs for $350K many many moons...

Thanks for sharing Mr Panda.  Foxhill?  That's Deerfield - my wife actually grew up in the same neighborhood (Sunset River) maybe they know each other? (She went to Venado and Uni).  Familiarities aside, I really respect your drive - and I can relate to most of what you shared.  It's funny...
