Stonegate is way better.  Top school, Jeffrey Space Trail, closer to shops, lots of pools/parks, and value. Beacon park is overpriced for toxic land,cemetery, and only one park/pool.

The missing option is that there is overdevelopment which will drive down home prices.

Does this include mello Roos? How do we pay that!

I just wanted to throw in an update.  I stayed with AT&T and the coverage was pretty bad.  So I went to the store to get a Micro cell inside the house.  They made me pay for it there and said that my phone rep will probably pay me back.  I had to shell out $200 for the equipment.  Then i got a...

Yes, I read the thread and made my decision to go with Jo because of the quality of the work that I saw him doing in my community in Stonegate. I also talked to my neighbors and they gave me a thumbs up. My experience with Jo was smooth and easy. Completed in 2 weeks.

Thank you! We love it too!

I highly recommend Jo from Echo Family. I found him because many of the homes in my neighborhood in Mendocino were using him. No better way to assess any contractor's work than seeing it for your own eyes. I looked at the quality of his work and was very impressed. After receiving quotes from...

Woodbury parents are clamoring to enroll their kids into Stonegate. That says it all.

Stonegate has the best elementary school in all of OC. The homes are newer so they will retain their value better than Woodbury as they are nearing 7 or more years old. A big turn off to buyers is when a home is in that in between stage, not old enough to rip out and replace, but obviously looks...

OMG. My neighbor just moved into his home after coming back from China and he is a chain smoker (what a surprise). As you know, even in a detached home with IP homes, the back yard is very small and I smell his smoke in the morning, afternoon, and evening. All I want to do after a long day is...

I heard that sales at Arcadia is not doing too well. Builder is offering a price drop like in Portola Springs. Is there is any truth to this and why? Based on the above article it sounds like the Chinese are buying everything.

In my case, I did not rent. I came and saw model homes and old homes. In the end, I bought a new home by Irvine Pacific. Reasons for this is that I did not want to move yet again. All the neighborhoods in Irvine appear to be pretty much the same: track homes that look exactly alike with decent...

Seems like alot of Stonegate envy by the other bloggers. Here is a another perspective. Orchard Hills has higher HOA and Tustin School District (for all homes behind the gate) so you are paying a lot for the cache of living in a gated community. Plus OH homes outside the gates by Irvine Pacific...

Yeah that makes sense.  CAN I rinse the dust off my car with plain water without soap??

NEW to California and I've googled the hell out of trying to find this as a legitimate crime, but is it illegal to wash my car in my driveway?  IF it is, can I rinse my car in my driveway??  I have a feeling it is NOT allowed, but I can't seem to find a clear statement saying I can't.  (I'm in...

Yes, 85C lines are too long. And the pastries are only so so. But why do I go back every week?  :)

As a new home owner in Stonegate and Irvine, I am happy to be in such a nice and beautiful city. However, it seems that everywhere I turn, there are new communities being built (e.g. Orchard Hills, Cypress Village, Pavilion Park, Great Park in future, etc, etc.). How realistic is the property...

As a new owner in Stonegate community, I am planning for my small backyard landscape. I understand plans need to be submitted to the HOA for approval. I have a few questions for the TI community to get your assistance: 1) Can you please share examples of plans and advice on do's and don'ts? 2)...

Agreed with the other folks. Push the sales reps to escalate this on your behalf. You have a good case given the fact the other party dropped out. Just be firm, factual and let them know how this is something you truly desire. As for comments from 3CWG about the take the breath away...
