    After School Care?

    i found many sitters options through nextdoor.com, but i haven't tried. There is irvine chinese school (if you're chinese and want your kids to learn) that does pick ups from different school. I just dont trust those people doing the pickup, but i am okay with a sitter taking my kids home or...

    After school options for high school

    yah, assuming you dont work and have time to drive your kids around to do those activities. If they can be offered on campus, thats great and what i am planning to do. i guess most people in irvine dont need two parents working.

    Old house Vs New house

    assuming both have decent location and same price, i would pick new for the better floorplan, after all you are going to be living in there for a long time, but you're paying for it. I think it all comes down to economics reasons, if you can afford it, why not the newer floorplan. :D tax...
