A few neighbors recommended this business over the weekend when 2 of their AC units failed: https://coolingandheat.com/

I don’t know about them not caring about the schools, not completely accurate. Most of the new builds in Irvine over the past 25 years scaled up with new elementary schools added along within the communities. Loma Ridge was the second elementary added to Portola area just a few years ago...

Curious if the FCBs are just being more selective in current market by focusing only on latest shiny object - current and future OH new builds and releases - over other preexisting homes that are even just a few years old. The current market activity seems reminiscent of fall 2022 market when I...

Are the detached condos Tri levels there? I remember seeing some of the attached condos two years ago when I was considering moving there. Didn’t like the very vertical floorplans with second-floor living rooms. But I liked the central location, not being that far from either the 5 or 405...

6. I remember some people in the Portola community sharing pictures from the Silverado fire from 2020 when it was basically raging across the hills on the other side of the 241 toll road next to the condo communities separated by the toll road and the trees had caught fire in the neighborhood...

Not sure if State Farm is still offering new policies, but my homeowners policy for my place in Portola Springs has coverage for wildfires. The city views and parks are great up the newer neighborhoods like Azul, Cielo, etc. Several pools and playgrounds scattered throughout the communities...

Handels would have been better.

Absurd to pay that much for something inland indeed considering you’ll get whiff and remnants of asphalt fumes instead of ocean air + view.

I almost pulled the trigger on getting a tankless unit from Waterdrop. I can tell you it’s gonna be slower to fill based on what people have written in reviews. I ended up winning a free under-sink RO unit from my water conditioner vendor and they also installed for free, as there were only...

Can get tankless RO systems now that waste only 1 gallon water for every 3 used, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Waterdrop-Reverse-Osmosis-Filtration-Tankless/dp/B0987FCQQW/ref=sr_1_3?crid=14A2NWES4O43Y&keywords=Water+drop+g3p800&qid=1696910117&sprefix=water+drop+g3p800%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-3...

Just curious what vendors everyone used for whole house water softener and conditioner systems?

Probably an event not even covered by insurance.

Do you have a whole house water conditioner or softener? Personally I haven’t noticed rust in dishwasher on my Bosch dishwasher with > 1 year of use doing little maintenance on it since installing whole house water conditioner from Supreme Water based in MV.
