    IUSD vs TUSD funding

    Thank you both, that?s very helpful. I did pull the numbers directly from the school accountability report cards on the respective district sites, but perhaps these were ?raw? expenditures before LCFF added in (again, I?m totally ignorant as to the funding model and plan to do additional research).

    IUSD vs TUSD funding

    Hi Everyone! As a parent of a child in IUSD (daughter attends Woodbury elementary), I've noticed how active the Irvine Public School Foundation is with fundraising, which prompted me to do a bit of research on school funding and expenditures. I know very little about K-12 school funding, but I...

    Recommendations: 1.6M-1.7M

    I'm stuck with a condo in Irvine unless I win the lottery, but if I had this budget I'd definitely go for a view lot. Groves at Orchard Hills (I personally prefer this location to the Reserve, as long as you're not too close to toll road), Quail Hill, or Turtle Rock.

    First time homebuyer in Irvine

    Hi there! It does seem like a tough market right now in this price range. Irvine is overpriced, no doubt about it. For the money, you're not going to get much space or privacy. But the trade off of course is an amazingly well-kept city with excellent amenities, parks, schools, and a central OC...

    Kid's playground

    We have a 3 year old and 6 year old. We do mostly stick with the outdoor Irvine parks because they're free, but my kids absolutely love the indoor play places (their favorites are Luv 2 Play at the MarketPlace and We Play Loud in Lake Forest). They aren't cheap unfortunately, and it sucks they...

    Question for anyone living in Petaluma/Marin/San Mateo/Marigold/Vivo etc.

    Thanks everyone! I hope my question didn't offend--I have a tiny yard and a condo only as wide as my 2-car garage, so I can certainly relate to small lot sizes! My question pertained to these IP tracts because my impression is all the examples I mentioned have a similar floorplan and a similar...

    Question for anyone living in Petaluma/Marin/San Mateo/Marigold/Vivo etc.

    Hi Everyone, Does anyone here live in one of the IP tracts mentioned above? I'm curious (particularly if you are in a lot with a home behind you)--if you are outside in your patio and one or more neighbors are outside in theirs--can you hear them talking? Or are the patio walls high...

    Will Irvine build a 6th High School?

    Hi Everyone! Just curious--do you all think the city of Irvine is going to build a 6th High School? We live in Woodbury, and though my kids are still young and we have a few years before our oldest will go to high school, I'm starting to wonder about zoning. Looks like Portola High school...

    Homebuyer poll!!

    @CompressedVillage--Thank you! I wish we could have afforded this budget a few years ago, this could have put us into a single family home. Now I feel like we will never be able to move up. But hopefully we'll be happy here for a while.
