Yep, i would chose the neighborhood with the delicious foods and thats closer to central OC where my peeps be.  I mean I suppose if money was absolutely no object I'd buy there anyway, nice and close to several tasty food options, a good grocery store, and the freeway.    And  on the cooler...

I am not super familiar with what villages are what but I'm pretty sure its the university park area that I like -- the neighborhood you drive through if you take michelson from wholesome choice to the korean place on university?    This gives you good access to both wholesome choice and mool...

My parents live on a cul-de-sac with lots of tiny children and no front yards (well, they're older children now but there were tons of babies and toddlers for a few years there) and it really wasn't that big of a deal driving through there and parking and what not - the REALLY little kids have...

Thanks for all the links IHO.  Even if they cost more than some of the other options they DO offer alternatives in look to those cheaper options and to granite - especially for people who are worried about all that radioactive granite (or whatever that was) that was being found in people's...

Re blackfin:  what do people with young kids do when you have one of those yards where the pool takes up the whole space and is literally 3 steps from the door?    Do you just not buy homes like this I guess?  Or the kids jsut never go outside (not like there's anywhere to go...) ANYWAY. ...

I have a hard time judging how much they would sell for because of the insanely high HOAs they were projecting at the time.    I mean, that wasn't just a 900,000 dollar asking price, it was a 900,000 dollar asking price wiht an 800 dollar a month HOA.  How do you price that?  In terms of...

I walked around the pond today at lunch and we went up the stairs to peer into the pool complex here.    Made me wonder if they'd gfleshed out their rental site at all and they have -- You can now see the floorplans with monthly rent prices. http://skylineocrentals.com/fp/  I doubt I'll ever...

My family tends to go to Howards first, but my parents just bought a new fridge and had a kind of bad experience with a sales person there (sold them a color that didn't exist, so when the fridge showed up it wasn't the color they'd asked for).  That was our first bad experience though. One...

i got my mattress at custom comfort too.  They both make and sell their products so there's no additional markup from going through a store, you get  to support a local business (they make them here too), and the sales people don't get paid by commission.

yuck, tacos and co is mediocre.  a taco truck  or super mex would be better. Also I am a big fan of Rollie's mexican and bolivian cafe in tustin:http://rollies.weebly.com/catering.html their saltenas are goooooooood (http://rollies.weebly.com/bolivian-menu.html picture here) I love their tacos...

Oh wow that was a bad choice.  I *think* they were trying to show the scale of the shower - based on the man standing there it looks larger than some.  They should have put one of those tall shower caddy's in the corner and put all the junk from the counter top on it.

It looks like they did some really basic fixing up -- painted it in one of those peachy almond colors that was super hot during the boom, threw down some cheap laminate flooring (my friend redid his house for something like a dollar per sq ft), white baseboards.  But then the kitchen is just...

http://www.redfin.com/CA/Garden-Grove/12755-Sussex-Cir-92840/home/3959016  Took me a while to figure out what that ugly metal thing was in the kitchen. 

I haven't seen the IBC vision plan, so thats new to me, and it certainly adds potential value but I disagree that because its in the middle of that complex vs just outside it they can charge a ton more because there are "high paying jobs" there.  Those same jobs are accessible from 3 miles away...

Yeah, it is.  I don't think the SA school district is a problem per se, but I do think that they can't charge Irvine prices if you don't get Irvine schools.  Well.  I guess I shouldn't say CAN'T because obviously they are.  But I mean, mid 400's for a condo + the 400/mo hoa?  And Mello roos ...

I honestly think Co housing is a not a bad idea for irvine, but i also think that the way irvine has developed now, with its heavy emphasis on mcmansions and "luxury" condos/apartments means that the kind of peopel who live in Irvine or want to are also not really the kind of people who want to...

Awesome, thanks cameray!  I didn't get out to see them last week but  I did really like the layouts on paper (which doesn't always mean anything) other than that damn garage, and a senior neighborhood is a young person's neighborhood in the making (no one lives forever).  Besides, maybe I didn't...

Based on this post i wanna change my answer too.... at least you can kick problem renters out.

That isn't a house, its a las vegas resort and casino.  Only it got lost on the way to vegas. Like. Really super lost.

Yup, thats what he said - they just took their sweet time getting it back up I guess.  Might have been permit/structural issues.  I never knew all the details, I just had heard they had always intended to get that location back up and last year my friend found out they'd reopened.  That...
