    Yorba Linda New Homes - Tierra & Villaggio

    I noticed that sales of these units have risen along with the new Yorba Linda High School Construction. This school will be in high demand by parents, as soon as the boundaries were set a couple of weeks ago I noticed some existing resales in the area tried to up their home sale prices slightly...

    Cityplace in Santa Ana

    Last year we went to look at CityPlace and I stopped in to look at the Hannah Bean store. She had a small selection of largely overpriced items and while I browsed she spent the whole time on a personal phone call to a friend and barely acknowledged myself or another customer who walked in after...

    Buyer Beware..A tale of my own stupidity regarding Toll Bros.

    Thank you to those that expressed a differing opinion without chastizing me. You are right in saying Toll did me a favor in "pushing me to back out". My DH said that he looks at it as if we lost $40,000 rather than $60,000 (since that is the difference in the current price). You are probably...

    Buyer Beware..A tale of my own stupidity regarding Toll Bros.

    I was surprised how my straight "A" student in private school was almost a year behind in math when she went from private school to public. I was swayed by the "dog and pony" show till I figured out my student entering 7th grade wouldn't be taught by even one credentialed teacher. I switched her...

    Buyer Beware..A tale of my own stupidity regarding Toll Bros.

    By the way I was paying for private school tuition at $14,000 a year for each child. When I switched them to public this year they were actually behind in several subjects, and this was a Presidential Blue Ribbn private school in Yorba linda so it doesn't always work out the way you think it...

    Buyer Beware..A tale of my own stupidity regarding Toll Bros.

    Our payment was going to be $1900 a month then $237.00 a month HOA and probably about $1,200 a month in taxes (taxes in Vista Del Verde are lower because the golf course is public and they "bought" down the tax rate). No mello roos or special assesment. HOA maintained front and our backyard was...

    Buyer Beware..A tale of my own stupidity regarding Toll Bros.

    Rents in this school district for the same size house are $3,600 to $4,500 a month! Bigger uh-oh to me because I am throwing away over $43,000 a year on rent! I am currently paying $3,100 for a 3 bedroom condo! The Yorba Linda fires displaced alot of people who are now renting and homes to rent...

    Buyer Beware..A tale of my own stupidity regarding Toll Bros.

    We felt comfortable buying because we had just sold our home for $1.1 and were taking our $500,000 equity and buying a home that allowed each of our kids to have their own room (we have three kids), but with a smaller yard (we were no longer using our own pool, half basketball court ect. as our...

    Yorba Linda, Vista Del Verde

    Before you buy with Toll be sure to learn from my post about being burned by Toll. I started it as a new subject :) BTW I was told that a Toll executive put a $200,000 lot premium on one of the city/Catalina view lots at Legends. Someone said for that price I hope you can see Japan.....LOL

    Vista Del Verde - Yorba Linda

    Ironically we are renting in Shea San Lorenzo and would never buy here because the HOA is out of control. They will be inspecting the inside of peoples garages this week to make sure you aren?t storing items (you must park two cars in your garage first, you can?t use your driveways at all) Many...
