I?ve always thought OH was more peaceful and nicer but the proximity to the fire hazards is what a lot of folks do not want. But it?s the only new guard gated community near higher elevation which draws many buyers.

Altair also has the same wild fire risks associated with it.
Also altair has the GP Mello Roos.
When I started looking I also liked Altair until I visited OH. I liked OH much better between the 2 communities, away from all the action in GP. Just seems more serene and upscale in my opinion.
B2FiNiTY said:HOA is very reasonable for guard gated community IMO and for the amount of homes in the community. I think there are a total of around 840 or so.
Mello roos are definitely sky high.
It is decently close to foothill ranch retail plazas (which have practically every big box minus whole foods and trader joes). Typically a 5-10 min easy drive with not many lights, high speed limits and wide lanes.
I think as of this post, there are 3-4 homes for sale now.
