    Orchard Hills - Messina by TRI Pointe Homes

    Yes I miss my 3CWG and my cathedral ceiling.  But they don't build them anymore and we like new homes better then old ones.  The closet space is a bit small but it is enough.  I agree with OCgasman.  If it is too big it is a waster of space.

    Lol!  How many people did you poll and how many converts do you have? Yes 3cwg is nice and I know the benefits.  I had one before when I lived in Orange. I can respect your situation and the benefits of a 3cwg.  I can respect your passion and willingness to share.  But alas people have...

    It all depends. Some people use that extra space for workshop, office, game room etc. Also, there are people that need that extra space for "storage." Big families (such as teen drivers or inlays moved in) have multiple drivers need that 3 car garage. Some people have multiple cars - commuter...

    Agree that iusd > tusd.  But Hicks Canyon, Orchard Hills, Beckman High is on par or better then most iusd. How much junk do you have anyway?  Enough to fill the single part of your 3cwg or 2?

    If there is truly nothing I can find by tomorrow then it does not matter.  Just want to be sure before I buy a near $2M house.

    Additional Cost and Options for New Home Purchase

    You mean the two weeks or max one month of rent I have to pay on a temp apartment while the upgrade after coe is finished?  Yes good point.  The contractors will be ready to go the day after I receive the keys.

    Well a family that bought lot 28 switched and took lot 21 instead.  So lot 21 is not available.  Lot 28 looks big as well but I am trying to figure out why they switched.  I don't see anything wrong with it but am a little hesitant until I study it more carefully.  I did start the prequal...

    Additional Cost and Options for New Home Purchase

    I would upgrade from the builder only stuff that cannot be done without tearing the house apart.  Interior insulation, extra tv and network wiring, hose bib, bbq gas line, ceiling fan prewire, etc.  Or sometimes they have upgrades at a reasonable price then its okay.  Cabinets and counter tops...

    Orchard Hills - Saviero by Taylor Morrison

    Toll road is not an issue and as long as you don't get the lots right next to the school you should be okay.  At least school shuts down on weekends and holidays.

    Thanks NYT. I agree about the TV placement.  I was thinking about a small TV on the kitchen counter next to the nook area.

    How much does size matter?

    Just don't like generalizations as if non FCBs are perfect.  Not an FCB and definitely do not smoke.

    They have a waiting list but for the choicest lots only.  Right now you can just walk in and there are lots available without having to wait.  You have to pre qualify though before you can sign a contract on an existing lot or get on the list for a future release. I pre qualified at Arcadia...

    How much does size matter?

    Sorry I read through some of your other posts since I am interested in Messina.  You don't seem like a bad person.  I still don't agree with this particular post of yours but I think I was harsh.

    Oh and one more thing...Messina and La Vita for that matter is away from the avocado groves.  Bad if you consider the groves to be a view and want to be close to it.  Great if you don't care to hear the trucks or watch hoards of people during harvest.  I am pretty sure they spray stuff as well...
