    I've looked at Stonegate a little... it didn't have a bedroom downstairs and only 3 bed total. It's not really in my budget after upgrades. Also there's the landfill and around 4k melloroos. I would pick NWII over Stonegate even if NWII might get rezoned to Irvine HS.

    I think they are also lower cause of the crappy schools in the area... what's interesting is that El Monte is also very strict, every transaction needs to be inspected by the city and all unpermitted additions needs to be reverted. I own a couple of duplexes in El Monte and had to do some major...

    I guess both... I didn't know there was a difference just looked up a few addresses in Northpark onhttp://tax.ocgov.com and all shows the 1915 bond

    It's still a different level compared to Whitney and Oxford (I think they should really be considered private schools)... as far as enjoying the great outdoor and parks and trails.. I'll start the new trend  ;) quick unrelated question... are all parts of Northpark subject to the 1915 bond tax?

    Like I mentioned earlier.. I have family that lives in Cerritos and they were robbed at gun point in their own home.. Cerritos/Cypress is a big nono for me.. I think part of the problem is Hawaiian Gardens and all the other ghetto communities close by. I'm not a big fan of Oxford/Whitney either...

    I guess I just need to be patient. I'll do some research on Northpark and Tustin Ranch in the mean time. Was under the impression that the schools for North Park and Tustin wasn't comparable to the good schools in Irvine, so never looked at them seriously. Do you guys agree that NWII would...

    Seen that one... hate the floorplan.. horrible use/waste of sqft. I don't know anyone in SCali that would need/want a fireplace in the MasterBed  >:(

    NWP is actually my first choice. I haven't seen those two yet but seen them on redfin forever... anyone know why it's been listed for so long? There's also the old Northwood area right under the hicks canyon trail (corner of Irvine blvd and Yale) that should stay zoned for NW High, I don't mind...

    I have seen many NWII properties but the concern is that the school district would be re-zoned along with old NW so that it's Irvine high in the near future. The two you listed are a little too small I am really looking at 2500+ sqft w/3CWG. I have seen 52 Secret Garden a few times already but...

    flipper, if you mean the one in South Pasadena then yes I've seen it.. If you are thinking about flipping it I would stay away, I don't know if you have ever dealt with the city of SoPas but it is not easy to make any modifications (very similar to the city of San Marino)

    You are a Chinese immigrant, inherited a million dollars, just moved to Irvine

    I've been burned badly trading VIX and VXX and promised myself never to touch them again :) been doing well playing option straddles on high volatility stocks such as aapl. I also believe tech has been oversold lately and will most likely recover later this week. I am about to cover a few shorts...

    Hi Everyone, I've been lurking and reading everyone's posts on TI/IHB for the past few months but has never posted until now... I have been looking for my dream home in Irvine for about a year now and this forum has been extremely helpful. There are truly knowledgeable contributors that posts...

    You are a Chinese immigrant, inherited a million dollars, just moved to Irvine

    I think a lot of the Chinese immigrants would first look at the San Gabriel, Arcadia area (if from mainland China) and Rowland Heights, Walnut area (if from Taiwan) and as they get more exposure to western culture they would move to places like South Pasadena, Irvine if they could afford it. I...
