    [Poll] Resale or New?

    I chose resale because I liked the neighborhood feel (a lot of the factors OpenSky mentioned in the NP thread), a more traditional floor plan with separate living/dining room, and larger more private lot.  3CW garage was on my wish list but it got outweighed by the other factors.  The lower...

    Orchard Hills Homes

    Further away from the highways can be seen as a positive in terms of noise pollution and health vs CV: * more traffic driving by CV to and from the freeway, and even more with all the new hoods being built out * proximity to freeway = noise + potential impact on health Plus certain folks place...

    New High School Boundaries

    I also find it funny when people are trashing Beckman (TUSD), when reality is that typical ratings place it right in the middle of the pack of IUSD schools (above Woodbridge and Irvine High, but below Northwood and Uni).

    Bubble Swing Listings

    Your first example "closest comp" on Atwater for the 3 bedrooms 1750-2250sf on smaller lots in Northpark at $344/sf is an attached product.  So I disagree that this is a valid comp.  Detached products in Northpark are in the $400+/sf range for closed sales.  If you bump the square footage to...

    Bubble Swing Listings

    If you do your own search on sold listings on Redfin in the past 6 months, Northpark solds have often sold for over $400/sf vs the typical $285-$385/sf for detached products in West Irvine.  Not sure what you mean by much denser either as NP has actual grass separator between sidewalk and...

    Cons of Tustin Fields & Village of Columbus

    I live a few football fields away from the crossing at Harvard and can attest to the loudness of the train horns.  The commuter trains during the day have quiet horns and you can barely hear them from where I am.  It's the big trains that rumble through at night that blare the loud #%@# horns. ...

    Current thoughts in 2011...

    I've been ready to purchase since 04-05 but fundamentals haven't made enough sense to me, especially the cost of the new product that TIC is pushing, once u factor in MR, landscaping, etc.  With some of the things on the horizon, like the jumbo conforming limit decrease and potentially higher...

    Stonegate information page is now up with 4 new neighborhoods!

    I just can't get past the fact that pricing starts in the high 700's to even get a driveway.  In my experience, as families grow and children get older, the typical household will have more than 2 cars.  I can already envision a street parking nightmare (if not now, 10-15 years from now).  I've...

    Poll: Stonegate Pricing

    When you add up the costs for Maricopa including landscaping, and factor in the MR, I'd much rather live up the street in Northwood Pointe with a 3 car garage for the same price.
