Major Schadenfreude:
Nope not a peep. Although, I do hear garage doors that are not your own. But as for neighbor noise, literally none. I actually just met my neighbor behind me for the first time the other day...she was nice and surprised that I have a 6 mos. old because she claims to not hear anything too. Good thing, he is loud!
If anyone is interested a property in my neighborhood is up for auction April 15th. The notice is taped to our community's front gate. I bet that makes a lot of people uneasy, I tried to take a picture of it with my iphone, but couldn't zoom so it was blurry. I believe the address is 8 Dauphine, 92657. It has been vacant a while...also, all of the properties that were for sale in here are now for lease, but not budging. This is most definitely a working class neighborhood with a lot of original owners. Don't be fooled by the zip, these people bought when they were in the $300's. I like it in here, but would much rather live closer to the back bay, that is where we drive around the most and plan on purchasing in a few years. Newport Coast is beautiful, but a very unique living experience. My husband and I are young (25), we moved here for his business and it has been good for us, but we are not Newport Coast people. Our lifestyle doesn't fit...we like our Volvo's and would much rather invest and save and give to those in need than spend on a new car or toy. Honestly...this place is a glorified Irvine.
