    new landfill activity

    Apologies for the double post - I think the first was under the general real estate forum but I specifically wanted thoughts from the Irvine Real Estate forum, since the landfill in question is in Irvine. Is anyone concerned about the application to approve food waste and manure? I'm afraid...

    application for new landfill activity

    I wanted to get the opinions and feedback of experts here. Just received a letter that OC Waste & Recycling is seeking to revise their permit from purely green composting to now including food waste and manure. If people thought the landfill was smelly before, they haven't seen anything yet...

    Potential issue with city tree

    I'd like some advice from some knowledgeable neighbors.  I happen to live close to a busy street, and on the busy street is a large tree.  I love the shade that it provides. My issue is, I think the tree's roots are growing underneath my yard and shifting some of my pavers.  Is there anything...

    Irvine versus San Diego

    I realize I'm posting my question on TalkIrvine, so I expect answers to be biased towards Irvine.  But I respect the opinions of several people on this forum, so thought I'd throw this question out there. I enjoy living in Irvine.  But the job I envision as my last job will be in San Diego. ...

    Which part of Irvine to move to - part II - under a million dollars

    So for some us with smaller budgets who still aspire to live in the great community of Irvine, where would you be looking for homes if your budget was under a million dollars? I think older parts of Irvine offer more bang for buck in terms of $/sq ft (Woodbridge, West Irvine, etc.), but one of...

    Earthqauke insurance for attached homes - worth it?

    I have a question I'd like to run by the TI experts here.  If you live in an attached product (condo/townhome), I imagine earthquake insurance is not necessarily worth it, but I wanted expert opinions. My own uninformed opinion is that in order for it to be worth it, all of your neighbors need...

    Any local restaurants open during Thanksgiving, with a Thanksgiving-themed menu?

    Just curious.  We may be in the minority of looking at restaurants to dine at, rather than cooking at home.  I know there are some places in LA that will be open, but I'd rather not drive that far out if I can avoid it.  Thanks in advance for your input!

    Is $800k the new going rate for attached 3br townhomes in Irvine?

    Just basing this off of a few listings in Stonegate and Cypress Village.  Is this the new reality? $800k https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/108-Churchill-Irvine-CA-92620/2094345674_zpid/ $780k https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/34-Passion-Flower-92618/home/40025412 $810k...

    Los Altos, Cambria, Helena

    Hopefully this is a simple question with a simple answer.  I'm looking at these attached homes, and they look like townhomes to me, but I think in official paperwork (loans/appraisals) they may be referred to as condos.  Any reason that might be the case? I'm thinking it has to do with HOA...

    Caserta plan 2 or Helena plan 1

    Just wanted to get outside opinions.  Prices are fairly comparable.  I think both are great.  I like the village/community in Cypress Village because its completed and there seems to be more parks and green areas.  I also like the downstairs bedroom layout for the Caserta plan 2.  One additional...
