Is the top of the hood with the exposed power cord intentional? Looks terrible.

Plant a few trees to block the view. Problem solved. The large unusable front yard has no solution.

Smell from water drainage area? I'd hope not for $2.5M+ homes. These are not much bigger than the standard size lots and they are facing Lake Forest Dr. which I'd expect quite a bit of road noise based on how fast people are driving on it. While it's elevated it doesn't have a great view until...

Latest Capri price sheet for February release.

I highly doubt it. At least with BP and PP it's out of sight out of mind most of the time, especially if you don't have to drive by it every day dropping your kids off at the high school. But, living across the street? Fuhgettaboutit!

PP Mello went up by the max 2% this year. I would not take the word of the sales people. They are there to sell. You should assume it will go up by the max every year and hope for the best. If you're not comfortable with that I'd hesitate to buy.

Did you get a chance to compare the exchange rate they use to be sure they're not trying to make up for the lack of transaction fee with an unfavorable exchange rate?

HC models starts from 4600+ sqft. That's a lot of house. More than most families reasonably "need". But, the price per square foot is a not outlandish today at $500-550/sqft for non-premium lots. The closest comparison, Turtle Ridge homes, granted they are landscaped and decorated, regularly...

They've sold over half the community, 100+ homes priced $2-3M+, in 1 year. That's pretty impressive, especially considering there's plenty of options in Newport at that price range right next door to Irvine. If you haven't been keeping track, all homes in Irvine at $1M+ range and beyond are...

If you're willing to pay up for lot premiums there are quite a few between 10-20k sqft lots, some with views.

I'd agree. Toll Brother did the same recently when they pulled their only model in the Hidden Canyon community with masters bedroom downstairs. They are no longer building any more of them with half the community still to go.

Looks like lots are getting incrementally smaller with each GP district release. Up to 3677 sqft house on 5100 sqft lot. The backyards for these homes are going to look more and more like the typical IPC product.

Prices for Legend are now posted on CalAtlantic site. http://www.calatlantichomes.com/find-your-new-home/13-orange-county/7521-legend-at-beacon-park.html Resident 1 - Starting from $1,750,000 Resident 2 - Starting from $1.795,000 Resident 3 - Starting from $1,843,000 It's strange that once you...

The guard never asked if we were a BP or PP resident. So, it doesn't seem to matter. And, it's not just the basketball court.The entire park is "closed" and we need to leave. Also, what's the point of a lit night time basketball court if they don't want anyone to use it. Why put in the light in...

Went to Beacon Park last night to play basketball on the night court. Been there many times before and always been able to stay until 10pm, as said on the sign. But, last night, the guard came by and told us we had to "leave immediately" and it is no longer open after dusk. Does anyone else know...

Isn't the toxicity problem already remediated by now? It would be highly irresponsible and legally liable if they were to have residents move in right next door without having it cleaned up. Of course, if you don't trust the analysis that's a different story. In that case, you should not...

Looks like Capri is releasing homes at a much faster rate nowadays. It wasn't that long ago they were at a painfully slow rate of only 4 a month. Now they seem to picking up steam, somewhat surprising considering this is typically slowest time of the year.

The sales lady told me that Abruzzo will no longer be built. Apparent people ask about them but when it's time to buy they still go with the traditional upstairs master design. The demand just isn't there, even after they have a home mostly built they could walk through with buyers. It's too...

Trouble in paradise? 3 of the 4 homes in Capri latest flyers are from previous buyers backing out, there by the "Fabulous Upgrades!!!" tagline. Two of them, lot 38, 48 are still up for grabs. This the first time I can remember that Capri have a house available for buyers to just walk in and buy.

The way things are going MR is going to supplant mortgage as the biggest cost to home ownership in Irvine.
