    Retail Openings and Closures

    Handel's has almost too many flavors and it's your run of the mill classic ice cream shop. I also think it was hyped up because it wasn't in OC until 2017 or 2018 I believe. The first time I ever had it was actually in Carlsbad and that location was crazy busy. Wanderlust is a trendy LA ice...

    Thinking of buying in Portola Springs. Few questions…

    It's hard to say what the downsides are for Cypress Village East because it's subjective. It's a small community, so there aren't many amenities inside as Cypress Village across Sand Canyon. The upside is that you don't pay the Great Park MR and taxes, but can cross the street and be at the...

    Thinking of buying in Portola Springs. Few questions…

    I wouldn't completely rule out Cypress Village because of the school, I would evaluate everything overall. Which part of CV are you looking at? Are you looking both at the original CV and East? Irvine has always had low income housing sprinkled in so I wouldn't write off CV because of that.

    Thinking of buying in Portola Springs. Few questions…

    6) There have been and will always be fires in Portola Springs. 7) Irvine High has an interesting reputation in Irvine, but I think it's just due to the typical "my school/my kid's school is better than yours" mumbo jumbo; Irvine schools are top tier, period. I went to University High and every...

    Burger Thread

    They closed that one too? Hopefully the Sand Canyon one doesn't close. That's the last one in Irvine.

    Burger Thread

    My favorite used to be the sweet potato fries, but they recently switched to a crisscut version that isn't as good. I also recommend downloading the app if you go often because then you get points for discounts/free items.

    2 Floor 4-5 Bedroom Homes in Great Park

    Floorplans are up now for these two tracts. I'm actually surprised that Taylor Morrison chose to go with traditional SFRs for Lily versus the rest of the surrounding home styles. The plans and exteriors are very boring though.

    New Detached Condos Coming Soon at Los Olivos

    I could've sworn I saw a post about this neighborhood not too long ago, but I can't find it. There are new detached condos coming to Los Olivos. I thought they were initially supposed to be SFRs, but I guess that changed. I don't see any plans yet, but I found information on the tract. It will...

    Luna Park in Great Park Neighborhood

    Hey they must've finally gotten the first giant round of MR and taxes from the GP residents! 🤑

    Lower priced parts of Irvine?

    Greentree and College Park are both nice family friendly neighborhoods in Irvine. I think the neighborhoods in the Walnut area of Irvine have always been lower priced because they're not as "pretty" as some of the other parts of Irvine. I think this is due to the fact that many of these homes...

    Makes sense. I think Spoons was where Taco Bell is if I remember correctly and then they built the taco bell from the ground up like Jack in the Box.

    Interesting Turtle Rock remodel with a WTF price

    Never been much of a fan of this place...I guess it looks better now.

    Luna Park in Great Park Neighborhood

    I haven't noticed the FR Towne Center being crazy busy much either, but once GP is all built out, I can see it getting worse. The newest parts of the Great Park Neighborhoods basically border Lake Forest, so it's closer to go to FR than Woodbury at that point.

    BBQ Beef Ribs / Brisket

    My friends recently tried a new place in Garden Grove called Smoke Queen BBQ and said it was really good. It's a traditional BBQ place, but they have an Asian twist on some of their dishes. They also have a beef brisket panang curry which sounds interesting...

    Luna Park in Great Park Neighborhood

    Yep! Right where the school is by the fire station. I thought it was pretty rotten of them to do that, but I wonder if it had to do with the fact that the Woodbury center was struggling at the time as well. I remember the shelves were half empty at the Ralph's at some point. They 100% should...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Jack in the Box at UCI center has closed after who knows how many years...it's been there so long that I can't even remember what it was before. Romano's Macaroni Grill at The Market Place randomly closed and is becoming Corner Bakery.
