Ready2Downsize, we are simply sharing info on this site. Time will tell if we are going to a new peak in a few years.  I believe we will be heading to a new peak based on historic trends. 

Keep in mind, we are "only" back to the last peak pricing in 2007. See: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-qa-home-prices-20160713-snap-story.html Key takeaway:  The peak value in any given cycle has always exceeded the peak value in the previous cycle. (We are just getting started)

I think they are done building in PA18 w/ HC. LA and HC were planned in 1980's, see info below: FACTS ? 752-acre total planning area ? 855 homes ? Approximately 450 acres of open space was dedicated as part of this project  <-----  No more homes will be build after 855 homes ? PA 18N (597...

From your comments, you must not know a lot about LA. Plenty of parties have been held at the parks, and parking is available next to all the parks.  I am sorry you have to be so negative to a community that you don't even live in.

For the fact there are traffic lights on 133 south of 405.  Prob not considered a freeway. 133 is definitely a freeway north of 405. Plus, 133 south of 405 probably get less cars than Jamboree or Culver. 

Public restroom is available in the main park in LA.  Plenty of communities only have public restrooms in certain parks.  After all, LA's parks are private, and only 597 households have access to them.  I spent a lot of time in LA, only heard significant freeway noise in the very last row of...

SG's Maricopa and LA's Cortona share the same floorplans, but Cortona (Plan 3) consistently have a $100k premium over Maricopa.  WD's San Marino and LA's Toscana share the same floorplan, but Toscana costed more as well. Same floorplan or not, the architecture of LA's homes costed more to...

Really?  I don't think QH is that walkable if you live in 1.5M+ homes.  I agree, QH condos are much closer to shopping center. I don't remember that last time I walked to a shopping plaza, so, being able to drive to a shopping plaza within 5 mins is more important to me.  A lot of ppl on...

Numbers talk.  While most ppl are negative about LA, there is a good reason LA homes are moving at the price they are selling, even without "the add-on of infrastructure galore".  TR, QH, SC, and LA aren't "walkable" communities.  When was the last time anyone walked to restaurant or...

In my experience, people got rich because they made smart decisions.  Mainland Chinese invest all over the word, I was against LA's price premium when I visited the homes on Opening Day.  IP shuttled us in by buses.  However, I became aware the following differences LA offers: - Guard gated...

I am actually asking if you can hear ppl "walking" upstair, not other ---ing. Not sure how condos are built now days...

Will you hear upstairs neighbor in Plan 1?

My neighbors do not have to be my friends, just like my co-workers do not have to be my friends.  I can make friends outside of ppl on my street. I think good neighbors are ppl that will keep the yard clean and presentable, park their cars in garage, use neutral window coverings, and do not...

Neighbors that keep to themselves are WAY better than neighbors that are nosy, want to know all about your business. I am fine w/ just greeting each other.  If the chemistry is there, exchange phone numbers and so on.  As for the kids, if the kids are in the same class, you will get to know...

I guess if you can't hear the fwy, you are prob far enough..... Personally, I would never buy a house that's within 1000ft of a major fwy.  There was a study done, showing 500ft is the danger zone.  After 500ft, dust/air pollution is not very measurable....

Good point!  I am really hoping that as long as I can't hear it, I am free from air pollution.

If you take 1.5 miles to the left and right side of 5 FWY and 405 FWY, the majority of Irvine will fall within that range.... 

I dont mind.  Love LA or hate LA, recent LA resell properties all went into Escrow quickly w/ good appreciation, setting LA pricing @ > $500/sqft. LA and Hidden Canyon are surrounded by preserved area, no more homes will be built. When you look at SG, WB, PS areas, more than 10k homes are...

DUA numbers tell so much!  Wonder what DUA numbers are for LA. I also consider LA to have the best location among all communities from 2005 to now.  Hidden Canyon will be even better. After all, who doesn't want to have quick access to fwy, be close to beach, and be in the best school...

Not so WTF if you consider 40 Modena in Laguna Altura went to "pending" status in 14 days.... http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/40-Modena-92618/home/40439233 Considering Willow Bend in UP is also over $500/sqft, LA is pretty reasonable considering you are in a brand new neighborhood w/ 24 hr...
