If I were a bettin man I'd say these things are going to be from the low 4's to the low/mid 5's, $300/mo total HOA, and $5000/yr MR.  :P

"Trash" Portola?  Hahahahahahahahah!! But in all seriousness, there are parts of OH that Google Maps says are as much as 4 miles away (as the crow flies)  from the Trash Heap.  The northern portion of PS meanwhile...

Agree!  it simply looks out of place...and shares a complete wall with one of the other secondary bedrooms (ew)

Note:  I realize that the corners of the entertainment center are cut off, but I believe a corner unit fit for a 50" LCD would go nicely there.  Also, my dining table would be pushed up against the wall, that side's chair eliminated.  Actually, the other "head" chair would only be there as...

Despite the hangups I have with Plan 2, they are workable.  For instance, the laundry room could actually function a little better than Plan 1's if you opt to have a stackable w/d in one side and the storage in the other side.  It is modeled that way at Siena in Laguna Altura and I liked it...

To be perfectly honest, I like Plan 1 more than Plan 2 in some ways.  The not-so-great room is at least set up like a proper one, with 3 walls.  Also, the laundry room is more traditional.  Check the floorplan to see what I mean. I'd have to stick a corner entertainment center in Plan 2, but...

location, location, location.

Agree-  If all of the disclosures aren't posted completely, what does it prove?

Prices above income fundamentals will be supported by fcbs and dacb's like test.

I'm not sure if it's worth it either, but I can't think of a newly built detached product in the city of Irvine that has less MR. 

So judging by the map it seems that they are building the more desirable homes last.  Well, by the time they get to them there's a good chance they'll be the same or less $/sqft as these ones are.

Districts and taxes A Mello-Roos District is an area where a special property tax on real estate, in addition to the normal property tax, is imposed on those real property owners within a Community Facilities District. These districts seek public financing through the sale of bonds for the...

From experience Saturday morning driving from Fountain Valley to Augusta at Columbus Square via Edinger all the way down, I can tell you:  This dev fits the description you just gave.  It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't too far from CS either.  And this is not something I gained from an internet...

Your relentless defense of a product's clear deficiencies proclaim that you have a vested interest in such deficiencies being marginalized.  My assessments are not unfair.  If you have facts to add, please do so. I wouldn't call that "misinformation", more of a gentle ribbing because that would...

In the interest of fairness, I called Augusta's sales office a few minutes ago to ask them what the absolute numbers were for Mello Roos there.  They told me that the MR for Plan 1 was actually $6400 per year.  That would create an effective tax rate at precisely 2%, not 2.1% as stated on the...

Maricopa at Stonegate = $4200/yr Augusta at Columbus Square =  ~ 1.05% of purchase price, per their own literature. Please enlighten me as to how I can't compare the two?  I don't care how the bonds were taken out or what is included in them, I am a consumer.  I see that one is nearly DOUBLE...

Wait...did I miss something in the Augusta at Columbus Square thread?  Is their MR tied to the price somehow like base prop tax?  (that'd actually be good, since they should be going down)

Yes, break it out that way and set it equal to Maricopa, and that's the equivalent of $740k for a Plan 1 at Augusta (adding 70k to set equal, since it is about double MR). Maricopa's Plan 1, while it may be 200 sqft smaller, is a traditional SFH with a driveway and by that measurement is only...

Wait isn't it only $800 more per year?  I thought Maricopa was $4200 while LV was closer to $5000.  We're not talking about a $3000 difference like Augusta at Columbus Square.
