WBE and Stonegate will always shadow by WB due to the central location with facilities. WB is an experiment for Irvine company, they spent a lot of money building all the infrastructures and from the people that work for the company that designed WB .... it will not happen again in other development.
There are playgrounds, pools, soccer field, tennis court, baseball field, basketball court, banks, Starbucks, home depots, clinics, traders joes, Fastfoods, Asian foods, Italian foods, Mexican foods, Chevron, elementary school, .....
Woodbury has very well thought out community facilities, but I'm not sure I would characterize it as unique or special when benchmarked against other Irvine Villages. Have you ever been to Northpark? Portola Springs will also have a community park and a shopping center at buildout, and is probably 2 minutes from the Home Depot and clinics at Woodbury. My reply is not a shot at Woodbury --- and I understand you like Woodbury better because you live there. But please note that residents of most Irvine Villages could make the exact same arguement you made for Woodbury.
Completely agree. I would say the most unique neighborhood is the other WB, Woodbridge, because of the Lakes. The two lakes occupy a vast amount of land that in today's land price will not be repeated again in Irvine and probably in all of OC.
I did buy in Woodbury and it's very nice, but I wouldn't call it unique. The "playgrounds, pools, soccer field, tennis court, baseball field, basketball court, banks, Starbucks, home depots, clinics, traders joes, Fastfoods, Asian foods, Italian foods, Mexican foods, Chevron, elementary school" can be found in many other neighborhoods like OakCreek, WestPark, Woodbridge, El Camino Real, etc.
