Good point! If it keeps the kids out of the models, open the park!

Ban all kids from public areas, and you have a deal!

When I read the subject line of this post, I thought it was that children weren't welcome at the models. First, I think you're being a bit dramatic by saying they're not welcome. It seems to me they're just not welcome to take advantage of a playground where they're not residents (yet). I have...

We have 3 ovens. Do it.

Furthermore, when I like a floorplan/home, I like it, regardless of the builder. Browse my past posts and you'll see. Two of my favorite floorplans of the hundreds of homes I've looked at were from Standard Pac Homes (Alta Plan 1 at Talega) and one of the two floorplans from Warmington Homes at...

Plan 1 upstairs bedroom isn't a bedroom suite? Not that I'm looking to buy, but if I were, that'd be an automatic disqualification for consideration of this floorplan for me. For homes of this size (and price), the least I'd expect are bedroom suites for all secondary bedrooms.

Uhhh... it's Newport Beach.

I'm an employee of TNHC? Damn! I wish I would've known that when I bought my home at Lambert Ranch. I could've gotten an employee discount! If you bothered to look into my old posts, you'd see that I'm merely a satisfied TNHC customer. But, maybe your time is too valuable to go looking into...

The difference being...? My pics weren't from the grand opening weekend. My pics were from a preview event.

I can't decide if I like Trevi more or Fiano. Trevi's are a bit bigger overall, but Fiano, at least in the models, had finer touches. No floorplan, either from Trevi or Fiano, hits all the right notes for me, personally. For that, I'd want the Plan 2 at Oliva. That model, with the upstairs...

In a Toll Brothers model, no need to be confused about what's standard and what's an upgrade: everything is an upgrade.  ;)

If by "spartan" you mean tasteful, I agree. If by "over the top" you mean gaudy, then definitely. I think that keeping a relatively neutral (but well-done) tone is the way to go. Sometimes when visiting a model home, especially Toll Brothers, things are so over the top that I can't even begin to...

Fiano Preview Grand Opening today. Quite impressive homes, but I've only come to expect the best from The New Home Company. Slightly smaller than Trevi in terms of size, but even more upscale overall. Large ocean and canyon view lots. Unique designs with a few "oh wow" outstanding features...

This subject line is quite confusing as a double negative.

Well, made it out to the models today, finally. First, all well done overall. I really liked the entrance to the community. Second, amusing that some are criticizing TNHC for giving out photocopies of floorplans where at Hidden Canyon they don't even give them out (or didn't have any)...

I don't know what the "bank of mailboxes" at Baker Ranch looks like. At my old community in Riverside, it was basically one bank per street (maybe a 12-24 or so mailboxes grouped together). Here in Lambert Ranch, it's anywhere from 2-4 mailboxes per cluster. Very reasonable.

It's almost standard for new homes to just give you a dirt lot. By law the builder is required to have a driveway, front walkway/stairs to front door, and a stepping pad outside each door from home leading to the outside.

I love the Plan 2 great room. The high ceilings really do it for me. I like the optional floorplan (not modeled) for the plan 2 even more, with an additional upstairs with bedrooms. I'm sure it's a pricey option, but I would so do it if I were buying that home.
