    TIC Making the Floorplan Worse? Why? Cielo VS Ravello

    In the original Ravello: It's likely not desirable to walk into the entry and see the toilet. Especially with the powder room door left open. The Ceilo plan is updated to resolve this.

    Interactive "Racial Dot Map"

    Very Cool Informational Map. Some boundaries are very distinct. In North Irvine- 2 blue squares demarcate the mobile home retirement parks amongst all red. From this, I can decipher that mobile homes are bad Feng Shui.

    Housing about to Blowup

    Yep. These "trailer parks" in Irvine are only for the age 55+ . Kid will have to find a way to live with Grammy incognito.

    Pedestrian Bridge over Jeffrey Open Space Trail??

    There are already examples of pedestrian bridges in Woodbridge and Oak Creek. I would assume these new bridges will likely be a similar scale and aesthetic.

    Stonegate or Cypress Village?

    Freeway close is one thing- CV has actual stop lights and large industrial/utilitarian lamp post within its village boundaries. Driving through CV for the first time,  the stop lights had me expecting to see Jeffrey, Sand Canyon, or South Coast Plaza around the next corner. I don't think there...

    Woodbury East - Santa Rosa

    They should have splurged the extra ~$700 for a counter-depth sized fridge.  Standard depth fridge no longer fit in most kitchens without looking out of place.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I am an architect that happened to live in the area for a number of years, and would like to offer some of my thoughts and observations purely from an aesthetic land use standpoint. The detached townhomes of Woodbury have better curb appeal than the motorcourt houses, and even some single...

    [IHB] Open House Review: 18762 Via San Marco

    I was there over the weekend open house. The house had most of the original features. They replaced most of the aluminum sliding glass doors typical of ranch houses in that era with french doors and cased windows a decade or two ago. I thought  removing this inhibited the connection of indoor/...

    Cupcakes

    Sprinkles is a bit  too sweet for my taste.  I'd vote for Bubba Sweets in Huntington Beach. The sea salt caramel cupcakes are the best. They have a $1 cupcake special on Wednesdays ($2 regular price). On the sale days they usually sell out and close early.

    Where can I find a good suit to last at the last minute?

    SoCal has outed me.  Please don't be so sad for a pregnant bride having a shotgun, redneck wedding.  I confess I had to alter the story a bit to make it bit more lighthearted. Change wedding to funeral and groomsman to pall bearer and there you have it. Therefore the short notice. Just...

    Where can I find a good suit to last at the last minute?

    People in this forum are so knowledgeable/ opinionated on housing, food,  and well, just about everything else I figured what the heck. I have to participate as a groomsman for a wedding this weekend and was just asked to do so yesterday.  I pulled out both my black suits last night and they...

    Listings that pique my interest... feedback?

    These are the same agents that elicited a bidding war over at 25 Torrey Pine. They can be recognized in their listing description- it's nearly identical on every house they list. "Bring your checkbooks! RUN! Don't walk! DROP_DEAD_GORGEOUS!"...

    Putting my Irvine home up for lease.

    I am planning to move out from my Woodbury home within the next week. Its been a good six years. After months of thought, I have determined that putting the home up for lease would be the better decision than selling it in this market.  I was wondering if anyone has any recent experience with...
