    Builder Delays - New Home Purchase

    I know that contracts are written in a way that allows for some flexibility around delivery date. However, is there any law that protects buyers from significant delays. I have a buddy that locked in his rate on a new home allowing for some delays but it appears that the builder is now planning...

    Alta Vista and Bella Vista at Orchard Hills

    Went up yesterday to check the models. As I expected from TB, they were over the top on interior design and the backyards were awesome. Crazy to think that the Lucido (single story and my favorite) were priced over $3 MM!!

    What are my internet service provider options in Irvine?

    I had COX but switched most things to AT&T. When I had COX, my internet was slower at certain points in the day. Because folks share the same line, when there is congestion, you don't have the max speed. AT&T have dedicated lines so you don't run into that problem. If I connect directly to the...

    Any Landscape Architect recommendations out there?

    I can also vouch for Fred at Scancelli.com. His designs reflected exactly what we were looking for and he was the most reasonably priced landscape architect in the area (I researched many). We had 4 meetings with Fred. The first meeting allowed for him to sit with me and my wife to get a sense...

    Alta Vista and Bella Vista at Orchard Hills

    I have to say that I love my La Vita Plan 4 but the one story Alta Vista plan with 4 garages is my ideal home. That extra casita and dedicated office (which I would convert to a man cave) would have been ideal for me. If anyone wants my plan 4 for $3MM  >:D, PM me. Haha. Otherwise, I'll have...

    Experience with dispute resolution with associations

    I live in La Vita. In a recent board meeting, a number for neighbors issued complaints about the Board denying any customization of the driveways or even slight modifications, such as, a driveway liner. The argument that the neighbors have made some that the model homes have custom driveways...

    Palo Alto in Stonegate by KB

    Help me settle a debate with my friend interested in Palo Alto. He's set on Plan 1. Lot size he wants is ok but sandwiched between two homes and has homes on the opposite side of him as well. There is a plan 3 available with a super huge lot. I think the backyard is 90ft long and backs up to a...

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    I bought a plan 4 and have to say that the layout is the best out of all the homes I have owned. What features do I like? 1. Master bedroom is separated from the rest of the house. No rooms above on the 2nd floor = peace when I want it. 2. Huge great room; again, given the vaulted ceilings...

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    Out of the 8 home builders, it seems like Trevia, Amelia and La Vita are the most successful. The piazzas/motorcourts in La Vita seem to be a distinguishing feature. Most of them are rather large. They are almost sold out so you can't deny the success they are having. I heard that the model...

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    Wow, it's been a while since reading posts on La Vita....probably b/c I moved into my Plan 4 several months ago and have been too busy trying to unpack. Seems to be a lot of naysayers on the piazza. Frankly, it's not for everyone but I found it appealing. If fact, in speaking to folks that...

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    irvinenative, it's the old addage that you pay for location. I sold my home in Laguna Altura and was on the list for Hidden Canyon. My wife and I love the location of LA and Hidden Canyon. Access to the 133/405/5/Spectrum/Laguna Beach were all reasons we wanted to stay in the area. That...

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    Trevi and Amelia are overpriced. At those price points you might want to consider Newport Coast......in fact, many of the lots in Orchard Hills seem overpriced. That said, I was looking in Newport Coast, Turtle Rock and the Port Streets. Newport Coast was too expensive (e.g. $2.4 Million for a...
