I don't really care who lives around me, I'll force them all to come over and have a beer in the backyard. Although I will note that I generally have more success in that endeavor with the Caucasions and the Koreans than I do with the Chinese. YMMV. Just for the record and on a totally...

For all my fellow 714 residents who love your Tustin Unified School District (don't be afraid to out yourself, its ok to not live in IUSD!), don't forget to come out to the Dinosaur Dash on Sunday morning and send some money back to our schools. And if you participate but don't have kids in the...

The 2009 academic performance scores were released to the public today --- with scoring by school, district....plus all kinds of other fun stuff like demographics and scoring by sub group. Interested to hear all of your thoughts on the results of your favorite school. <a...

Just like the elementary schools a couple of weeks ago, OC Register ranked all of the Middle schools in Orange County, with results released this morning. The highest ranked middle schools were grouped into categories: Gold (#1-6), Silver (7-13), and Bronze (14-29) categories. #30-85 did not...

OC Register ranked all of the 388 elementary schools in Orange County, with results released this morning. The highest ranked schools were grouped into categories: Gold (#1-49), Silver (50-127), and Bronze (128-198) categories. As would be expected, Irvine and the TUSD schools in...

Anyone know the pricing on the new KB community in FV....The 2,900 sq ft single story looks interesting. Don't see many new one story homes these days. No HOA or Mello-Roos either... <img src="http://content.mkt41.net/ra/2009/02/10/31337942/images_77807_01.jpg" alt="" /> <img...

Anyone here with any inside information on what the attendance boundaries will be for the TUSD Orchard Hills K-8 school? Given the school is scheduled to open well in advance of any homes in OH, who will be going there? I can't imagine the overflow from Hicks Canyon and Pioneer would be enough...

We are leaving our IAC in Westpark for a rental house in West Irvine in December....meaning we will need to change schools and school districts for our Kindergartner. For a lot of reasons --- not the least of which we plan to buy in Orchard Hills when it comes online --- we are very ok with...

Wow, AZDavid from the main blog isn't going to like these numbers. It would appear that the 2008 Census income survey ranks Irvine the 7th highest median income in the US, for cities over 65,000 population. The ranking is a little misleading, since it eliminates all the wealthy towns with...

Just kidding! Anybody else sick of that ridiculous drama?

<p>On a tip from Irvine123, checked out the new look Irvine Company site. The "Villages of Irvine" is a much improved site with a lot of information on the city and villages --- and a cool video. Parts of it somewhat remind me of the "community profiles" I seem to remember seeing somewhere...

<p>Trolling the Irvine Company "Good Planning" website tonight, I found this May 2000 publication by the Irvine Company, profiling Irvine housing at the time:</p> <p> <a href="http://www.irvinecompany.com/aboutus/plan012345/index.htm">www.irvinecompany.com/aboutus/plan012345/index.htm</a></p>...

<p>If the rest of you are at all like me, I am sure you spend too much time pouring over Redfin or Zip, or at open houses thinking "If not for this bubble, I would be able to afford a place like <em>THIS</em>!" Well, at least I hope I am not the only one daydreaming about what I could buy if...

<p>If you hurry, you can catch the last 20 minutes of "Buy Real Estate at a Bargain" on channel 11. The program description on Cox Digital guide says "Buy land, they are not making it anymore"!!!! </p> <p>LOL!!!!!</p>

<p>Wondering if anyone out here has any opinions or insights on the Tiburon tract in Northpark Square. Looks like it was a Richmond American development built in 2002 or so. Anyone live(d) there? Quality of the homes? Quailty of the neighborhood? I think this is a really attractive...

<p>Have not seen any discussion out here on Laguna Crossing (Planning Area 18) as of yet. Dug up some information on TIC websites. Looks like it is scheduled to open Summer 2008. For those of you (like myself) who were disappointed by the market space where TIC positioned Orchard Hills, it...

<p>This link may be old news to others out here, but I just found this Orchard Hills "update" website for the first time thorugh a google search. I had never stumbled into it before when looking for information on Orchard Hills on TIC website. I am REALLY anticipating Orchard Hills, found this...

<p>I've gone through these boards and found a couple of comments on schools, but found nothing which really helps make up my mind. Wondering if anyone has any strong feelings one way or the other regarding the quailty of the Tustin schools serving Irvine??</p>
