    Mendocino and Saragota in Stonegate

    anyone able to uncover a site plan? what constitutes a premium lot in medocino, 3900 sqft? will they be sqeezing 3 home shared driveways into the corners? Also, based on the original rough scheme, the flow in and out of that tract seems to suck majorily, one street in, so if your house is in...

    Moving to Irvine....Ranch Area within El Camino Real?

    You do get a great lot sizes in the The Ranch though I would warn to check proximity to the train tracks...not sure if there are any limitations to what kind of trains can use those tracks and at what times, but the last thing you want is to have the nightly rumble of freight train passing by...

    Garden Hill and Sage in Portola Springs

    What is MR further down in south county? Is the total with property taxes higher than 2%? I used to play that golf course all the time before it became  a private country club and always thought that area was kinda nice

    Garden Hill and Sage in Portola Springs

    How big of a patio do you get with these homes?  Any lot size info?  and a plan 4 for nearly a 1 mil? why not just go across the way to lambert?  Also just from looking at the floorplans and elevations, KB homes makes IP's designers/architects look like Frank Lloyd Wright...dear goodness those...

    1978 home - asbestos in popcorn ceiling?

    I'm not really sure what your question is, but why even bother removing the popcorn ceiling? It's in a small area in a hallway closet so no one will ever see it.  If it contains asbestos and you want to remove it, there is a fairly lengthy process that you have to go through to properly get rid...

    La Cresta at Woodbury

    IP doesn't have any floorplans that big, unless they just use the little corner extender tool on their computers and supersize the Toscana floorplans.  Plust the OP said Brookfield.  Honestly, though if it were 4000sqft on a 6500sqft lot, they'd sell out pretty quickly.  Woodbury is a better...

    La Cresta at Woodbury

    I stopped questioning whether there was a market for anything in Irvine a long time ago.  To quote an all time great movie, "If you build it, they will come."  But that size isn't completely unheard of in Woodbury...Juliet's Balcony is already that size and I think does well whenever one comes...

    Las Ventanas Plans 2+3 vs. Maricopa Plans 1+2

    Someone must have backed out of that plan 2.  we went in last weekend to show the model to a friend and they said that all that were left were the models, of which plans 1 and 2 were pretty much spoken for off the priority list with plan 3 avalailable at a shade over $1million.  Which shared...

    Maricopa design appointments options/process

    Thanks for the advice, soon-to-be neighbor!  Well not that soon, late January at the earliest...This last stage was pretty straight forward...opted for pre-plumbing for water softener systems and the privacy door to the master bath since the toilet and shower are right up in the front.  The next...

    Maricopa design appointments options/process

    I agree, it's complete nonsense.  But as its been pointed out on several threads, they have all the leverage being the only company building homes right now outside of Portola Springs.  And if you look down the road to early 2013, those prices will be 100k-150k less than either the new...

    Maricopa design appointments options/process

    @TheMotorCourtCompany We specified that we wanted the downstairs bedroom instead of the den, sliding doors instead of windows in the dining area/great room, and no fireplace when we put the initial deposit down...so not sure if this is stage I or II, but its the "foundation stage" @WorldChaos...

    Mendocino and Saragota in Stonegate

    Anyone with insight on how plan 1's are selling at Cortona in LagAlt?  If you can deal with the higher HOA dues, isn't that a better option than Mendocino? Better floorplan, nicer exterior designs, etc....

    [IHB] Open House Review: 17 Heron

    It's easy to forget those exist, hasn't been one on the market in at least 3 years I don't think. Even so, I'd take the older houses, save a little $$.  Plus, those are great floorplans that are really easy to expand in the future...lot of houses on nighthawk, heron, and sandstone have been...

    [IHB] Open House Review: 17 Heron

    As a nearly 25 year resident of Woodbridge, I can say that this tract is easily one of the most desirable on the North Lake side, and a Top 3 tract in woodbridge as a whole comparable to both of the Landings.
