    Your take on Great Park and high Mello-Roos

    If it’s even a question then is it worth it? You even doubt the veracity of EPA in the last statement. I’d recommend talking to Vice Mayor Larry Agran about the history of the cleanup, as he is an environmental attorney and was involved with that whole process. There was definitely botched...

    Thinking of buying in Portola Springs. Few questions…

    A lot of newer PS has great city views where you can see the orange ballon at GP, out to Signal Hill etc. Not sure if anywhere in OH has that panoramic city view. I agree with others, why not Shady Canyon if paying those exorbant prices lol

    Luna Park in Great Park Neighborhood

    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...

    Why hasn’t this sold

    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...

    Poll: Irvine Housing Prediction June 2024 to 2025

    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...

    Thinking of buying in Portola Springs. Few questions…

    Thinking of buying in Portola Springs. Few questions…

    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...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

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

    Hard water at kitchen with new build?

    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...

    Hard water at kitchen with new build?

    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...
