    Renting in Woodbury.

    Anyone renting in the townhome apts in Woodbury? We are interested in renting a townhome in Woodbury until it is the right time to buy for us. I toured a unit and it seemed kind of cramped and very close to adjoining townhomes (conseq. dark inside). Any thoughts/input by a current/former...

    Villa Rosa open

    My spouse and I stopped by yesterday (Saturday) morning around 11am. The sales lady said that Villa Rosa will probably open its next phase in two sections. More specifically, they will release 5 homes first, then the last 7 in that same phase will be released later (I'm assuming after the...

    Where are the cafes in Irvine?

    Francoli's at Fashion Island is great on Sat/Sun mornings (for breakfast) outside near couple of the fountains. Saturday mornings, they have this waiter that is very cool, always provides first rate service and very pleasant. Not too many know about the fact that they serve breakfast on...

    The Great Park

    A salesperson at a model home in Woodbury told me the other day that a new high school will be built at the Great Park. Has anyone heard anything about this? Also, I've heard from other sources that the Irvine Amphi. Theater and the Water Park will be moved to the Great Park (and TIC...

    Orchard Hills Update Website

    I went to see models at Woodbury and one of the builder agents told me that OH and LC won't start selling for another 2-3 years. So I think TIC is trying to wait out the downturn and planning on starting to sell in 2009 or 2010.

    Woodbury Elementary

    Ok, my bad! I checked greatschools.net again and realized that the Woodbury Elementary that came up was the one in Garden Grove, CA, not the one in Irvine. I guess the one in Irvine is too new to have a review of its own...

    Woodbury Elementary

    We are currently interested in the Woodbury community and love the idea of it being pedestrian friendly! Since we have little ones, just checked out the greatschools.net site to see how Woodbury Elementary rates and it was a 5 out of 10 and I think the parent ratings (had about 4 reviews) were...

    Irvine Schools

    Earthbm - yes, the private schools mentioned are religious. Our Lady Queen of Angels is in NB (K-8) and feeds into Mater Dei High. Its a nice school and 98% of the moms are stay at home moms (so only a handful of kids in after school care), but if your wife is also stay at home, that works...

    Sense of Community

    Thanx everyone for your feedback so far! CK: i do like TR. Our only concern was that since it is an older area, there won't be very many little kids (pre-school and school age).

    Sense of Community

    As I narrow my search for the "perfect" neighborhood to buy in, I would like to get everyone's input on what specific neighborhoods have a good sense of community. To me, a good sense of community means friendly neighbors who want to get to know each other and do BBQs, etc, and a home...

    Local business slowdown stories

    I went to Toys R Us at Tustin Ranch at 7am (the store opened at 5am) on Black Friday and it was a zoo! I think that since the Santa Ana Toys R Us closed (last year?), I expected the Tustin store to be packed but it was insane. There were several lines of carts snaking throughout the store...
