    Beacon Park

    In addition to Indians, I also saw a handful of Black and Latino families, which I don't recall seeing at OH/PP grand opending. I have a feeling BP will have a good mix of ethnicities. I have some black friends living in LA county that want to move to Irvine to seek better schools and...

    Who's buying?

    I'm 2nd generation. Late 30's. My parents still don't have much money. As the oldest son, I have to carry the burden of taking care of them. I pay for their cell bill, their mortgage, since my wife refuses to take them in. I got lucky with the last real estate boom. Bought cheap, sold at crazy...

    Oakmont by Ryland Homes at Beacon Park

    I was there yesterday, they have a semi-sales rep sitting in each model to greet and answer questions. Each one mentioned that the Thermadore fridge and Italian stove/cook top is included. Hard to believe. Has anyone else heard the same?

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    They just might have to downgrade the Mercedes S to an E, 7 series to a 5 series, Aston to a Maserati, and maybe just get rid of the range rover, I feel so sad now. Is there a donation fund?

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    I believe Keystone sent out admendments to the landscape guidelines that now allow for artificle grass. So that neighbor might be in compliance, even though it may look cheap, which is too bad. Hopefully other neighbors don't get any cheap ideas. Sounds to me like they spent $5K landscaping a...

    Cell phone signal in OH

    I have Iphone w/ T-Mobile service. Horrible in OH. Once you pass the school on Culver it cuts off. Even worse inside the groves  :-\

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    I sold my place and have been waiting on the side line for BP and thats exactly how I felt. The prices, the mello, and someone recently posted a map of additonal condos and low income housing going up right next to BP. And with the uncertainty of the cemetery, I'll probably pull the trigger on...

    Saviero vs Messina at Orchard Hills

    I fell victim to the open great room concept. After living in it, I realize, we're all in the same big room all the time. Eating, watching TV, it starts to feel like a studio apartment. Fortunately we have a usable loft where either the kids or the adults can go and relax, change up the scenery...

    Ellwood by Richmond American at Beacon Park

    The rooftop deck is a nice concept, but if you look at the Ellwood community map, those models are all centered in the middle back to back so when you're up there your deck is pretty much up against the other decks. It won't feel as private when they're built out.

    I wouldn't be able to afford these $1.5M+ homes but I would be interested in the lower priced products. Feel pretty good to be sharing the neighborhood and park amenities with these million dollar home owners  ;D

    Beacon Park

    Everything in Stonegate looks the same from the $1M+ to the detached condos. Its not good for Stonegate to be next to PP or BP. People in Stonegate will realize how TIC has pulled the wool over their eyes.

    Does anyone find the new banner image on Great Park Neighborhoods site offensive

    Actual couple, and actual in-laws. Whats ironic is that they hate cookie cutter suburban neighborhoods. Live in custom home in Los Angeles.

    Beacon Park

    Just checked out BP today. Still grand opening, had free food, crafts for the kids and we all got the green baseball caps to help block out the sun. I was expecting a lot of people like greenwood, but not so much. At least it wasn't a mad house like the OH opening. First impression, got a very...

    Beacon Park

    Looks like it's appealing to the white/asian consumer. Like how they threw an interracial couple  ;D (Irvine isn't all asians. Its half/half)

    new home upgrades

    You can always upgrade later in life when you get tired of the existing kitchen. It'll also make you love the house again once it becomes old. Also keep in mind, the area your buying. If everyone is opting for upgrades, then when it comes to resale you'll want to be in-line with the community.
