    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Square - Camden Place

    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Square - Camden Place

    Pricing as of May 01, 2008 - For Residence3 (3/3 plan)... $500,000 even. I still think it's ridiculous price for a townhouse in Tustin. Give it about 6 more months..that price will drop back to $450k or so. Lennar is smoking something.

    Mac or PC ?

    Peter UK, There's many reason why Vista is horrible, but I won't get into the technical level of it. Rather, it's just a normal phase each new software goes through. I work for a major software company and we go through the same issue with our releases...usually it takes about 5-8...
