What is the best furniture store around Irvine (no farther than 10-15 miles), where I could shop for everything from dining set to kids' beds to patio furniture? Nothing fancy, just a big store with large selection and variety. Something similar to Rooms To Go or City Furniture in FL, if anyone...

We are 3 weeks away from moving to Irvine, just signed the lease close to the school I've wanted, excited but nervous, I called the school and said we'd start in January, even gave them the address, I'll do online enrollment tomorrow, apparently they have guarantee for a spot in the lower...

Silly question: when it's this windy, and temps in the 50s, do kids in school still go outside for recess or PE? I'm afraid my kids will get sick, we are from FL, we are used to crazy wind during hurricanes, when it's like 85F outside and you actually welcome it!

Oh no, I never thought about the different vacation schedules for K-8 year round vs. traditional high school. Hmm, that's a head scratcher. I guess I'm willing to trade the convenience of that, later down the road, for the wonderful feeling of all three kids in one school, with the same...

Oh no, not PE everyday! That seems a little too much! And they still have recess too, right? Irvinehusky, I went back to read your post, looks like we are talking about the same K-8 school, PV. I wouldn't choose Westpark, because I like the K-8 concept. My son is in a traditional middle school...

One more question: I have read an older post here on this forum, discussing the situation where you may live in a certain area and not be guaranteed a spot at the school across the street (which you should be zoned for), and since I am moving mid-year, that is a bit of a concern for me. Is that...

You're absolutely right, USC, that's why there are good agents and bad agents. Their clients should be educated and aware.

Regarding commission, I understand, so on a $4000 rental, 5% is $2400 commission, which is $1200 per agent, so if there is only one agent involved, is the commission more like 3%? That would be $1400. Still a $200 incentive for that dual agent to make all those other applications disappear. I'm...

Are you serious Panda about the $3000 offer for Santa Eulalia?! I may just do that!! But the whole premise of this thread is how the Irvine rental market is so hot, I thought there would be multiple offers on all these properties in like a day!! Well, the landlords should also keep in mind that...

Got you, Panda. Very educational. Interestingly enough, both Santa Eulalia and Calavera rentals are listed with the same realtor.Maybe she is the bad juju?! :) :)

Somehow I find it appealing that I can rent a million dollar house in Irvine for $3900 a month. If I were to buy, with a $200k down payment (that I would not be able to save in a hundred years, because I like to go shopping and eat organic as much as I can and enjoy life a little, and pay for...

According to Redfin: for 35 Calavera:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/35-Calavera-92606/home/4628388 18 Santa Eulalia:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/18-Santa-Eulalia-92606/home/4628131 37 Festivo seems to have had the same owner since '96. When you say "fail", do you mean it will never rent...

The middle schooler is in 6th grade, but in the K-8 school, that's middle school they told me. I do know 6th grade math is the same for everyone, and for 7 grade they start with the options. I'll probably wait till 7th grade for him and do 7/8 math (here in FL he is doing 6/7/8 in 6th grade...

Regarding the rental market in Irvine, from a future tenant's perspective: in the area where I've been looking in Irvine, there are lots of private single family rentals in different price ranges, the most expensive one being a 5 bedroom 3 car garage with good sized yard and upgrades at $4200, I...

Hi all, new member here, long-time lurker, very interesting and informative forum. I've been reading many of your posts because I used to live in Irvine, moved to FL, and now finally after 6 long years moving back to Irvine. I have school aged kids now, and I plan on moving close to one of the...
