It's always nice to revisit threads to see what the reality vs the predictions are.
I believe rates have gone down so 5% in September does not seem likely.
We've been comparing Eastwood to Beacon Park the last two weekends and I feel Beacon Park overall is a better neighborhood in both layout and product selection.
I guess I'm just tired of TIC's typical box-on-box SFRs... you walk into almost every model and it's the same, garage and bedroom in the front, kitchen and great room in the back with a Cali room and small backyard. Go upstairs and you have a small master with a small closet and a few bedrooms, maybe a loft.
At least with Beacon Park, there is some variation in SFRs, some have extra dining spaces, multiple downstairs rooms, etc. We saw Melody/Larkspur just to see what homes at that square footage are going for and while I like Lennar's "That's Included", I didn't like that only one model had an upstairs living space which made it feel really crowded upstairs.
The master bedrooms seemed larger in BP although in the larger homes, the master baths were too large. In lieu of those gigantic showers (was that really something buyers were looking for?), that space would have probably been put to better use as a bigger master closet or a second master closet.
Eastwood just seemed like Stonegate West and if I were buying, even with the higher prices and "double MRs", I would choose BP.

There is just one question you need to ask... is it in Irvine?
As much as I am bored of the TIC selection, I would choose SG/EW/OH over Greenwood.
I know the qwertustin defenders disagree and Greenwood could end up being Laguna Altura 2.0 but Irvine is Irvine.

May be R2D can answer this questions, what is the actual MR (not a percentage but the dollar amount) for Stafford at Greenwood?irvinehomeowner said:

Ahh... sorry man.
I've been to Greenwood and the cost difference is nominal if you are comparing Huntley to Irvine product.
What specifically did you like about it?
I really like the floor plan even though the entry on the side. I thought the portico is pretty neat. The SQFT is just big enough with kitchen towards the rear of the house. Utility desks on the 2nd floor. I am ok with Jack and Jill but it only has one sink which is odd. The laundry room is to the side and not next to any room.
