Does anyone have any first hand experience with these schools?  The reviews about Woodbury seem to be mixed, but I am not sure if these are coming from people who actually send their kids to the school?  Does anyone have their kids in any of these schools and can you share your experiences?  My...

Hi If you had a chance to live in either Northpark or Woodbury, which would you choose and why?  What are the pros and cons of each neighborhood. Any personal experience would be appreciated too! Thanks

We were seriously considering Plan 2 or 3 of Maricopa in Stonegate.  One of these just hit the MLS and the lot size is shocking.  It is also noted as a condo.  I mean really, 1 million dollars and you cannot even get a SFR?  Dh is worried that this will affect resale value.  I can't believe what...

Ok now that I have seen Stonegate, the first new SFRs that I have liked in a long time, I find myself reconsidering Portola Springs Las Colinas.  In both cases, I think the product is overpriced, but we are starting to believe that prices in Irvine will remain flat.  We might be ready to pull...

Putting the new home collection aside, how much should one expect to pay per sq foot in Woodbury (resale SFH)?  The ones that have recently closed seemed to have closed in the $330's per sq foot but everyone is still listing $389 and above.  The homes are being listed at 2005 pricing.  Is this...

Does anyone one the board here live in Northpark?  We toured open houses today and really liked the neighborhood vibe and homes.  The HOA fees seemed reasonable, but we have no idea what the Mello Roos fees are.  We hear that the schools that serve the area are really good schools in the Tustin...

In this economy, what is the going rate?  It used to be 6% (3% to the buyer's agent and 3% to the seller's agent).  What is a fair rate or going rate in this economy?

I really like the area of Columbus Grove close to Baranca and Harvard.  I like the central location and I like that it is newer.  I know people who have bought in the area and actually love it.  I know it is not a super desirable area and are thinking we may have a better chance of getting a...

I am back.  I thought I had gotten the over the moving to Irvine thing, at least for now, but find myself obsessing again.  Dh really thinks 2010 is a bad time and wants to wait it out a little.  I am starting to feel like it would be worth moving to the same size house just to get into the...

I am a longtime lurker and started on the IHB and then followed everyone here.  When we bought our house almost ten years ago, we looked in Irvine (gosh how I wish we bought there) and ended up deciding on North Orange county.  Over the years, we have thought about selling our house many times...
