It's location.
But more than that:
It has the lowest MR and HOA cost ($125).
It is zoned to NW high.
It is close to WTC and NW plaza.
It is connected to all the trails.
It has low traffic and high speed 60mph zones.
It takes no more than 5 minutes to reach the 5fwy either from Culver or Jeffrey unlike other neighborhoods.
It has a built-in elementary school.
Altair, BP has too high of a MR/HOA to compete. PS is PS. The boonies. The unwanted step-daughter disguised as a good deal. OH is pricier but you do have to swing for the view lots to make sense.

Hows the higher end stuff selling? More on pace with the other villages?
Where else can you buy new in Irvine right now sub $1m (in a real village) other than Eastwood and PS? I guess maybe the last of Parasol Park?
Selling slower but still selling. Delano is kicking ass. They can't build them fast enough. sub-$1M for attached product anyone? (nobody on TI raises their hands but FCBs says YES!)

Asians have low expectations. What do you expect?Have you visited Asia recently? Bring your own toilet paper.

I know Beverly is struggling. If you look at their sales map, they have sold maybe 10 homes in 8-9 months. I think Morro and Avila are doing better comparatively.
Price point is important. Most of Irvine sub 1mil is basically on fire. Above that, not so much.
