Haha I wouldn't say that. I do like the model. My wife and I saw one unit in Stonegate recently and really liked it so we were looking forward to Helena. When I objected to the Helena pricing being "too low", it didn't mean that I thought it was too expensive either. I think it's fair. It's a...

I'm currently in the buying process for Helena. On their brochure, they quote AD tax $1050 per year CFD tax $1700 per year Other taxes $164 per year. Looking at the documents in the contrat, it looks like we'll have CFD No. 86-1, CFD 09-1 CFD 1, AD 13-25. I believe CFD 86-1 is $685/year and...

I'm not saying that I won't be buying. I don't think it's overpriced vs market value. But I don't think it's also cheap either.

These are townhouses with tiny patio/backyard. They should come at lower $/sqft than a detached house with a yard and a driveway. Similar models as residence 2 have sold recently for 710-730k in SG and had upgrades and landscape of yard already done. So these are not that much cheaper than...

Grand opening is this weekend. I think this is equivalent to Cambria plans in SG. It's mid to high 600s, 3bdrm with a very tiny yard (bigger than the average Irvine townhouse though). 3 bedroom. Seems like a good model for those wanting a single family residence (such as Petulma) in Irvine but...

BP doesn't have a big appeal to me. The melorooz going up 2% every year is a big deterrent. I'm having trouble rating Eastwood. Not sure if it being further from GP is a good or bad thing. Traffic might be better. Woodbury does have better retail area close by and a sligthly better feel when...

I think we might end up "upgrading" in 5-10 years so I am wondering what might appreciate more. What might be easier to rent (if we decide to keep this as a rental). Basically, I'm trying to figure out how they rank in terms of desirability of neighborhood.

I'm trying to get an idea of differences between neighborhoods and resale value in a few years for models with similar floorplans (we're looking more towards the 3bdrm townhomes 1500-1900sqft) I know that Eastwood will go to Northwood high school while others will be the new Portolla high...

My lease is expiring in less than 2 months and I am currently house hunting. The renewal rates with Irvine company are excessively high for anything with some flexibility. Current rent is $1700. Month to month will be $2300/mo. 13mo lease is 1800/mo. 8mo lease 1900/mo. 4mo lease 2200/mo. That...

I thought TIC MR can't go up by 2%.

Any ideas of when model homes for Helena are opening?

Out of curiosity, how come Eastwood doesn't see that potential 2% increase but BP does? It makes a huge difference. BP MR also seem higher than TIC properties. Any idea of what to expect Eastwood MR to be?

First time buyer here. I'm looking at different neighborhood in Irvine. I need some help regarding the potential 2% increase of melo-rooz. Is that in any neighborhood? Or only some of the newer ones. By searching on the message board, beacon park seems to be subject to that increase. What about...

I didn't think of the proximity to the 133 actually. When I visited, the area, it was extremely quiet but it was on the weekend. I figure proximity to 133 isn't as bad as proximity to 5/405 for instance. It is probably very quiet except during rush hour. Will the 133 actually be seen from the...

But what is wrong about PS? It is right next to Stonegate so really it's just as remote. Also, it's right by the great park upscale neighborhoods. What will be different between PS and Stonegate once it's fully built?

Just wondering, their 4 bedrooms 1900sqft townhomes seem very well priced (600k) compared to nearby communities such as Woodbury or Stonegate. Obviously the 3 floor floorplans is a big con. But is there other reasons why the units are cheaper than nearby communities? A 2 bedroom 1300-1400sqft in...
