Totally agree. Laguna Crossing is a prime spot IMO.
Why hold out if you don't know what the homes look like. Plus everytime something new pops up, they'll double mellaroos you like Woodbury.
More people think of it as prime location, the more likely it will demand premium pricing. I won't be surprised that a lot of people will be disappointed once they see the pricing.
USC, the funny thing I find out there is that a lot of people out there still look strickly at the price and that is it. Back in the hey-days of 2005/2006, houses were selling in a day or two, but none of the goons out there were thinking of the high Property taxes, bonds, Mello Roos, etc. Hence, my avoidance of Tustin Fields, Villages of Columbus, and around that area. Why pay that much to live in Tustin. Even Woodbury I was staying away for a while, but I kinda like certain parts.
I sort of see LC as another chance for all those people who had deep regrets for not buying in QH in 2003. I would say that the home prices/property tax/mello roos in Laguna Crossing would be atleast or slightly cheaper than QH prices in 2003, a decade later.
2013 will be very much like buying in 1997, but i am guessing more than 80% of the people here would have already bought a home by this time. Personally, Since I have already waited 7 years to buy a home in Irvine, Laguna Crossing is worth waiting 3 more years for me.

You are definitely an Irvine demographic. There are some ethnic opulent custom in North Tustin that also suit your desire except for no sidewalk and street lights.

I've read on several threads that people are worried about the noise from the 405/Laguna because they think it will be closer to than QH, but if you look at this site:
http://www.trgland.com/lagunacrossing.html
The southern area which will be mostly SFRs is farther away from the 405 than most of QH.
I just don't think I can hold out for 4-6 years (I'm sure the best areas will be built out last, just like QH).

It'll be interesting to see how many people are still interested in buying in Orchard Hills and/or Laguna Crossing if the total property tax with Mello Roos ended up being 2.5-3%.frank69m said:

To some, Mello Roos is worth that new home smell.
My conundrum is that only older homes have 3-car wide garages... but only newer homes have upstairs laundry and opulent master suites.
Oh the pain.

North Tustin is too far away from where I circulate. Although I have many relatives there (one actually lives in Tustin Hills aka Santa Ana UnInc), I would probably prefer to live in the flatter areas below the foothills.
