Why people would pay this much for an attached condo is beyond me, specially when nearby detached home can be had for almost the same...

Lantana is in a unique situation where the demand and pricing for similar units will differ dramatically on the same street, since some of the units will be backing the industrial area. We checked the availability last week and the unsold units are either plan 1 which are less desirable, or...

I'd think they didn't build enough of Portisol in Woodbury. They are probably the only Woodbury development with decent sized yards and front loaded garage not costing over a mil. We used to live in plan 1 in Oak Creek, which is exactly the same as Campanile and Portisol's plan 1. Cal...

New homes priced below $900K with front facing garage, driveway, and rear/side yard are rare in Irvine now. We looked around and nearly everything else is priced at $1mil or above. Campanile in Northpark Square offers similar sq footage in that price range, but the floor plan makes it...

I got a copy of this amendment G. It's just like any other contracts saying this contract superceeds any verbal agreements, blah blah blah. I doubt these people will have any legal grounds to stand on if they decided to sue, even if the "promise" came from the CEO himself.

There's also Laguna crossing next to Quail Hill, Stonegate north of Woodbury, and whole bunch of area yet to be named at around irvine lake area. <a href="http://www.eastoforange.com/">www.eastoforange.com</a>.

There is a new none IAC condo/apt development coming up on the corner of Jamboree and Main St. They are putting on the finishing touches right now. I think it's called "legacy" or something. Have not seen any lease signs up yet, but doesn't hurt to check. It's a very convenient location, but...

FYI spoke to the agents and they are bumping up the prices for plan2 and 3 in the last phase releases. Plan1 isn't selling very hot so they have managed to converted some plan1 lots into other plans. There is a plan3 in earlier phases that was just listed this past week for over $1mil...

We live in Cortile which is a "detached condo" in Woodbury. While we do not share any walls with the neighbors, we still hear them during the summer months through open window. Cortile has very nice design where no windows of neighboring unit will face each other. But sound does find its way...

Arcadia is also nice, and not as expensive (in most cases) as San Marino.

nirvinerealtor, care to give us some example of these houses with inclining prices? Not doubting your statement, but I am just curious to see what type of houses they are. Thanks.

For those who want to wait even longer, there are more home to be built north of OH. Take a look at www.eastoforange.com.

hardwareguy, Glad I caught this thread. We are also buying a house in phase 5 of Lantana development. We have been watching this development since day one, and it did started out at around $1mil. Currently at around $340/sq ft, it is the best deal in Irvine. We love the plan, the...

I think the popularity of sub-prime and non-standard mortgage is the main difference between this and previous realestate booms.

mini2126: The masterplan development of Villgaes of Columbus is a Lennar project. William Lyon builds the homes we looked at. But basically this "tax" will covers all Villages of Columbus, regardless of who the builders are. Interloper: Thanks for the info. I just find it hard to...

While speaking to sales representatives of a William Lyon development in Columbus Grove, they mentioned a 0.05% "charitable Endowment Fee" which will be assessed on the property during a transaction, present and future. Basically whenever a sales transaction occurs on a Lennar developed...

I believe that is part of Oak Creek's "Cobblestone" development. That development brings back memory. They are those cute little houses you see on Alton near Jeffrey (across from Oak Creek plaza). My wife and I were on priority list for the longest time back in 1999 just to buy one of these...
