Does anyone know if any specific plans are in the works for the plot of land where the 405 meets the 133? I know there's a large white circus tent temporarily occupying the space. The Irvine Company master plan says that it's in the "Commercial Areas and Offices" category of land planning, but...

Still, lot size does play a role in the price. It would be ridiculous to think that a house with a 13,000 sqft lot wouldn't require a premium over a house with an 8,000 sqft lot, which is what the view lots are averaging around. That size provides the houses with a backyard setback of about 15...

Trevi view lots are more than $3m, and that's with a smaller lot and backyard than what's offered at La Vita.

Have the homes on Stetson been built/released yet? I haven't been keeping up with sales, so I don't know. I know that the sales office parking lot at La Vita was being taken apart today, as the model homes are being released tomorrow. A lot more houses are being built at Strada though, so if the...

Well they're not pulling the price out of nowhere. It's a matter of supply and demand. They have a huge waiting list just for the plan 4. If the first person on the waiting list isn't willing to pay that much, they'll just go to the next person (and so on). And like I said before, the buyer...

Very interesting, but not surprising. The plan 4 is on the biggest lot in La Vita, at 12,580 sqft. Does anyone know how much the last Trevi houses with views sold for? For the sake of comparison.

Notice how I said "most" communities ;) Certain communities like OH are clearly further away from the ocean than communities like HC. Living in OH, I've found that the temperatures are really not that significantly hotter compared to where I moved from (Woodbridge). People think that OH is so...

Can?t stand when people refer to Hidden Canyon/Laguna Altura as ?coastal? communities. Nothing coastal about them. If they offered views of the ocean, I would let it slide, but the matter of the fact is that they are both pretty much as close to the ocean as most communities in Irvine. The...

Yes, the houses in this area are attached to one of its neighboring dwellings. Doesn't look like the owners of the homes in this area own much of the land beyond the footprint of the house; the only outdoor space available is the entry courtyard, and the small-ish balcony terrace off the back of...

I don't expect a duplicate to be made either, as the builder filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in 2009. After that, they stopped building altogether, including projects that were in the process of being built out; Seapoint at Crystal Cove was not, and still is not, built out (I believe The New...

Based on your attached photo of Tract 1, it looks like it was initially going to be a clone of La Cima at Turtle Ridge, or Sea Point at Crystal Cove (which is a La Cima clone). Both were built by John Laing Homes, which doesn't exist anymore. So based on that, it looks like these photos are a...

I've never seen any tract housing development (semi-custom or not) that ever went beyond 6000 sqft outside of Crystal Cove. It should be interesting to see what they decide to do.

I've heard through the grapevine that Phase 4 was actually going to consist of custom home lots. Any truth in this?

I think I might know which lot you're talking about... and if my assumption is true, congratulations on your purchase! But you have to realize that the views on Sunset Cove are not all made equal. The plan 4 that sold for $2.8M is near the "peak" of Sunset Cove, and the orientation of the lot...

I find it interesting how the larger lot in the phase release (~11,750 sqft) sold for $2.7M and the smaller lot of the phase release (~10,150 sqft) sold for $2.8M. The view from the smaller lot has to be amazing (which it is) to warrant that kind of pricing.

Lot 50 was released in phase 2, which was released a month after phase 1. The plan 4s closest to the toll road were released several months later in phase 5.

I don't know if I missed this on this TI thread, but has Toll Bros decided to altogether stop building the Abruzzo plan? I've noticed that the Toll Bros website just says that "Capri Collection offers 4 home designs" when there were 5 before, and the Abruzzo plan is no where to be found...

The HOA community FAQ page just says that "the master developer [TIC] has control of the entry facilities until development of the community has been completed and they have completed their sales and marketing programs. The HOA does not have staffing authority over the gates until build out of...

The resort is starting to look great, but I've gotta say... I don't think if I would be too thrilled if I purchased a Marbella view-lot home on Shady Arbor or Preserve only for the view to be obstructed by the newly-built "center tower" of the pool area. I was always wondering why they hadn't...

The commute to UCI campus is not horrible. Several of my neighbors here commute to UCI regularly, and they don't seem to have any problem with it. The commute could be ten minutes on a good day, and forty minutes on a bad day. Of course, as with all commutes, you learn to use the non-peak hours...
