irvinehomeowner, Thank you ! We agree completely on the positives. I really like the idea of having master bedrooms on each floor. When I go I'll be sure to take pics as a way of giving back to this group for all the great info.

Reviewing all the plans again prior to the trip and plan 3 (4br/4bth + loft) for La Casella really stands out. Has anyone seen the model in person? The layout looks to be quite efficient - does the plan flow well when implemented?

I"m going to be the dissenter here on the "Great room" concept. I don't see the utility. I want my kitchen (w/island --> love islands for informal eating / snacking) to be separate from the dining area and the living room. I don't want them to look like one big lofty space. I notice some of...

Soylent Green Is People and pebbles thank you for the info.

Thank you for the suggestions, still checking each area closely. As an example of a good location (for me) is the Costa Mesa area. The streets listed have homes with a walk score of 74 out of 100 (very walkable) - for example ...

Before I commit myself 100% to Irvine, I'm hoping to get a few more options to look at during my trip to SO Cal at the end of March. Main needs: 1. new or fairly new (5-6 years or so) SFR with 4-bedrooms, 3 baths and parking for at least 2 2. Walkability to most of lifes needs - i.e. grocery...

I'm not Mike either - One of the reasons I pulled my child out of private school and put him into public school was the homogeneity - every child was the same - same background (more or less) similiar socio-economic status (or uber-rich) - this was giving him a false sense of what life is...

Assuming the above is true - does anyone know where the next enclave for Japanese may be ? One of the biggest attractors to the area for us is the availability of Japanese / Japanese schools. I need to make sure that my children retain their Japanese roots, this cannot be done by speaking...

Hi All - I really appreciate the discussion within - it's really helping me to better frame what I'm looking for and need. Most people do NOT look at hundreds of homes before making the purchase but instead by the one that they like the most after 8-10. As a Tokyo home owner, I can say I...

ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

More questions - Plan 3 Monetecito lists having a Tech Space - can anyone who's seen the plans let me know what that is ? It looks like open space that could be another common TV area for the upstairs but hard to tell. Thanks in advance G

Ok, cool. thank you for the clarification. Hard to do all this from a few thousand miles away - appreciate all the help.

Great - thank you - this helps. Does this mean that Paloma could be considered the closest?

My wife is asking how far of a walk it would be from the various homes in the collection to the Woodbury elementary school - http://maps.google.com/maps?q=125%20Great%20Lawn&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl Is there a map of the project...

People interested in Atlanta Ga may. For me, I'm ONLY interested in So Cal. Not likely to find a bargain but I'm not too concerned because I'll live there for 40-50 years (hopefully !)

Wow - great group of posts! I want to throw my hat in the ring as a person interested in Irvine and the new home collection. I'm currently living an American living in Tokyo (Yes, I'm aware of the cliche) and have been for the last 12 years. It is a great place to live but I'm looking for...
