That's so helpful! Thanks!

We're not big fans of the layout.

Sorry poor choice of words. Which colleges have accepted kids from Beckman... That info is out there somewhere right?

Why is that? Beckmann High School is great too. Purely optics/perception? Isn't Orchard Hills the "Bel Air" of Orange County, even with (excellent) Tustin schools? How do I see what colleges these schools fed into? Legado will go to Portola Springs High School, not Northwood...

Forgive me for being dense but what are PP and LR?

This is so confusing.  :-\ The real estate agent I spoke to thinks Orchard Hills is a much better area and therefore investment and that some say those schools are even better than the ones Legadonis zoned to. And she says this even if I spend more money to get, say, a Cressa. So tough when...

We like the Legado floor plan better so it's going to come down to whether the OH area is that much better than PS- that we would take the home we like a little less and pay more for it.

Expand on that, please!

All, Now we are looking at Terrazza and Legado. Obviously we will have to fly out and look at both ourselves in person, but can you help me compare the two? I keep reading great things about Orchard Hills and not-so-great things about Portola Springs. Why? Is the area around Legado going to...

Awesome! Adding it to the list and coming out more confused than before! Thanks all! 😝

Actually my mother and my mother in law have some plants in their backyards that we eat from... Like mint, for example. I like the idea of doing that with my kids. You're right on the small sizes of these backyards, though. Will have to check them out when we come. Sounds like no one really...

Right. Not being able to eat fruit we plant on our property bothers me though. And yes perception will always be IUSD is much better than TUSD. So just something we have to consider...

Thanks A S. I feel that way about TUSD vs IUSD. Certainly the schools Terrazza is zoned to see top notch. My husband feels differently though. Something for us to figure out I guess.

Hmmm... Private driveways and decent backyards in Cressa. That's rare now, huh? We are actually from Irvine, back when homes were very affordable! We were just too young to do anything about it! What about the proximity to Great Park? I heard at the Great Park neighborhoods they make you sign...

Thanks! Actually we did think about Legado but were told that the area is less desirable than Orchard Hills because of the toll roads. What are your thoughts on that? (If my husband knows Homer Simpson recommended Legado, though, he'll go for it!) Why do you think the real value is there? More...

Hello! My husband and I are likely moving to Irvine at the end of the summer. We are looking into buying our first home. We're trying to stay under $1MM as a starting point, with the understanding that it could go over once you factor in upgrades. And we would like a 4-bedroom. We have three...
