That place is a dump... You can rent a 2/2 1000+sf unit there for $1500-1600.</blockquote>
Now Irvine officially has 2 dumps.</blockquote>
Only 2? You're too kind. Graphrix should drive around some older Irvine neighborhoods and take some pics for us. I got lost once at night in one of these neighborhoods and thought I was in Santa Ana.</blockquote>
please tell me you are not serious?!
There is no place in Irvine that is ghetto!! Its not brand spanking new... but it's not ghetto.</blockquote>
I am serious. I saw this one house literally covered by an overgrown tree. Really dark and gloomy. There was an old 1970 rusted car parked right on the front yard. And the front yard consisted of dirt and no grass. My first expression to my wife was, "WTF, I didn't know Irvine looks like this?"
If I remember correctly, the neighborhood was near Culver and Irvine Blvd. And the other neighborhood was Deerfield. If you drive at night, it's so dark you're bound to hit something if you're not careful.</blockquote>
I have to hand it to the city planner(s) b/c the main roads are always pristine and nice. So if you're an out of towner, the city looks beautiful. It's when you drive off the main roads and into these older neighborhoods. Oh lord, it's like night and day.
