Wow, second plan 4 to snag a buyer. This one closed at $100k more than the last one. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/111-Sunset-Cv-92602/home/58551729

I've noticed the same thing (regarding your car getting dusty). I'm pretty sure it's the pollen from the yellow wildflowers growing on the hills. I live at Orchard Hills, and the hills are absolutely covered in flowers. They're beautiful, but they come at a cost of everything being covered in...

I was wondering the same thing. I saw model homes being constructed just south of the Meadow Park near the intersection of Fallen Branch and Woody Knoll, so I believe they'll be building on the tract of land along Fallen Branch in Phase II of the Groves (near Varenna and Padova). Floor plans...

Doesn't seem like they will be building any larger homes at the Groves or at Reserve. OH4 seems to have some larger lots, but nothing has been confirmed yet. PS5 also seems to be promising based on the original master plans, but that may be subject to change.

5P will develop whichever land it's given. If the cemetery remains on the original site, they will build homes on the strawberry fields. If the cemetery is moved to the strawberry fields, they will build homes on the old site. The 10,000-home figure is a really inflated number... there's no way...

One of the models at Alta Vista has been reserved (according to their interactive site plan online). Does anyone have any information regarding the model prices? Knowing TB, they'll be high high high. Sales seem to be doing pretty well; they're nearing build-out a little more than a year after...

It just comes down to accepting the reality of spurts of traffic around schools. This is experienced at every single community with a school. From my experience at Orchard Hills, traffic is not nearly as bad as I had initially expected. You just have to be smart about your driving habits...

I unfortunately won't be able to make it to the meeting tomorrow. If any of you happen to go, be sure to tell us how it went.

The mail-in petition was a counter-petition to the original petition, which was calling for the cemetery to be moved back to its original location (or at least to call for a "referendum" deciding where the cemetery should go). The counter-petition is against the referendum taking place, and...

Not exactly sure, but I do know that the remaining lots left to sell are on the single-lined street at the top of the community. Every lot they will release until build-out will have a view, which accounts for the jump in price.

RE: Vistas I?d call it expensive, but I personally wouldn?t call it overpriced, considering the views are some of the best in Irvine IMO. A house on the other side of Irvine of the same size could cost you $1.5-2 million more, and you'd get a house that you?d have to completely redo to bring...

Anyone know what's planned for the area adjacent to District 4, now that the veterans cemetery land-swap is a done deal?

HOA board meetings are useless whenever the board members aren't actually homeowners, as is the case with any new community until buildout. The board members, more often than not, are reps from TIC and the community management company, who aren't personally invested into the community, and...

Careful, BTB. FTC regulations state that it's illegal to endorse a product without disclosing the fact your endorsement is being paid for. Letting you know, just in case...

Battle of the Buses. Who will win?

The chauffeur buses are pretty standard for grand openings now-a-days. And you're right in saying Altair's grand opening had a larger turn out. It pretty much blow's Reserve's grand opening out of the water. I feel like the grand opening for the Groves a few years back had a larger turnout too.

Didn't have the time to go through all of the models today. Just visited Terra and left. The only thing that stood out to me at Terra were the backyards, but the floorplans were compact and seen-before (as expected). I don't know what about it, but the community didn't feel very high-end to...

Shocking, but important to know! Being coastal does not make you immune to an uncontrollable fire. We shouldn't forget that the Laguna Beach Fire in 1993 was one of the most destructive fires in the state of California, and the most destructive in Orange County--ever. 441 homes were severely...

It's important to note that this a fire like this can happen ANYWHERE, regardless of where you live relative to the coast. Fire hazard zone maps (FHZMs) show that the entirety of Newport Coast is considered to be located in a high-risk fire area, according to Cal Fire. Huge swaths of Shady...

Grand opening was great, but overwhelming. Only had the time and energy to walk through four sets of model homes. The Lennar models were pretty underwhelming when compared to the Toll Brothers models, but I guess that has to do with Lennar?s ?everything?s included? deal. The Toll Brothers models...
