    Orchard Hills VS Hidden Canyon?

    For your personal preference okay.  To generalize no.  If it was that easy this thread would not exist.

    BP is it worth the health risk?

    Pesticides were a concern when we bought at Orchard Hills.  I have not seen or heard of any aerial spraying so far after 1 year but it is one of the reasons we did not buy at Trevi and Amelia.  Capella is right next to the avocado trees as well.  Saviero, Messina, and La Vita are pretty far...

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    I did not and still do not like the motorcourt.  But the sales performance at La Vita speaks for itself.  I do not regret my purchase at all but it would be nice to have that type of instant equity.  Congrats to all La Vita buyers...especially plans 2 and 4.

    Saviero vs Messina at Orchard Hills

    You can't go wrong either way.  We live in Messina plan 2 so you know what our preference was.  We considered plan 4 at Saviero.  The below were factors in our decision between Messina plan 2 and Saviero plan 4: 1) We love the outdoor kitchen and courtyard.  We also built a pool and patio...

    Pls help to choose: Orchard Hills Grove or NWP or NWII?

    Plenty of FCB's in the groves.  Three on my street alone.  You think the builders at Groves will discount because they are TUSD?  Do you think Groves will appreciate in value slower then the IUSD side of OH?  I seriously doubt it.  They will discount a little for standing inventory...that is it...

    Pls help to choose: Orchard Hills Grove or NWP or NWII?

    OH has great schools: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/students-603749-school-orchard.htmlhttp://www.ocregister.com/articles/students-605629-high-school.html Beckman will be rated just as high or higher then Northwood HS in a few years once Groves is built out. The whole "but the Groves is...

    Best Selling Community in Orchard Hills?

    La Vita, Messina, and Saviero residents in the grove are easy walking distance to OH school.  We love our Messina home and close walking distance to school, park, and the village mall. Beckman HS is a different story though.  Just means kids will get a car asap.  LOL.

    Hidden Canyon or Orchard Hills?

    Gated side (Groves) is TUSD.  Other side of Culver is IUSD.  But I just checked and you are right for some reason Terrazza is TUSD.  Strata is both.  Go figure.  Below is straight from Irvine Pacific website. Residents of Entrata, Vista Scena and Corte Bella are served by the Irvine Unified...

    Additional Cost and Options for New Home Purchase

    Yup consistent with my experience.  $1.65M price before upgrades...$2M after all said and done.  85K on interior upgrades through design center, 100K interior upgrades post escrow, and $165K on landscaping.  It adds up quick.  I thought I was gonna spend $250K after COE.

    Hidden Canyon or Orchard Hills?

    Terrazza is IUSD and so your kids will not attend Orchard Hills school.  Your kids will be at either Canyon View elementary or Sierra Vista Middle school.  Two of my kids went to CV and SV.  CV is a great school.  SV can be decent or absolutely horrible depending on the teachers you get.  Make...

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    Wow aren't these Trevi prices?  Or at least pretty close?  Basically looking at 2.5-3.0 pending options and landscape.

    Hidden Canyon or Orchard Hills?

    It's all personal preference.  We bought in Orchard Hills cause it is closer to work, friends, etc.  Hidden Canyon is down there.  Yes Orchard Hills is TUSD but Beckman HS and Orchard Hills School is better then most IUSD schools.  No kid in Orchard Hills will be attending Tustin HS.  I am not...

    Orchard Hills - Messina by TRI Pointe Homes

    Have not been to the sales office in a while.  Nice to see they are selling briskly.  They are going to build on the other side of Fiddlebow though so they won't be done for a while.
