    HOA's in Irvine & Roundup

    Garbage drivers seems to be an OC thing. I moved down from LA last year and I'm flabbergasted by how much bad driving I see. The worst is that EVERY day I drive here, I see someone run a red light. In LA(where I lived for 10 years), red light runners were such a rare occurence, I might see it...

    Does the All American Asphalt smell affect Eastwood?

    I have never smelled the asphalt in about a year of visiting and now living in the Orchard Hills area. The one time I smelled it near Eastwood village there was literally an asphalt truck getting ready to pave a new road as they developed the neighborhood. I think people are smelling the normal...

    Anyone familiar with Rancho Palos Verdes

    We paid tons of visits to Palos Verdes when we were house hunting and made a few offers there as well. A few key points: 1. Beautiful neighborhoods, especially PV Estates with windy roads along the GORGEOUS coast line. Lots of houses have amazing ocean views and larger lots, smallest lot I saw...
