IrvineBS said:So what's the 411 on the land here? Was it former agricultural? Or part of the Maine base.
Saw a few open house here today. Liked them a lot but saw the $ sq. Ft here is higher then the rest of irvine. Can anyone chime in as to why?
Thanks

The neighborhood is actually pretty nice. Lot's of character with no attached homes that were developed. I actually find it odd that people would choose BP over PP resale but I guess distance to K-8 was key to them. The homes in PP have a nice design to them. Great curb appeal.

aquabliss said:The space between neighbors and the overall privacy in PP are hard to find in any new Irvine builds. Heck, even the older stuff. I don't have a corner lot but my side yards are quite generous on both sides and of course you can't beat the lot size.
That being said I'm still not a huge fan of all the drought tolerant landscaping and TIC neighborhood softscaping definitely beats 5P. We think we have one of the best locations in all PP so when I sell it won't be cheap. Maybe it'll make the WTF thread.

So IT IS old agricultural land? yes?
It was so refreshing driving around the neighborhood and seeing actual drive ways, no motor courts and an actual community feel.

Yes definitely was farmland, here check out this link (but DON'T BLINK when you click it):

This shows the land before the development was complete. However within about 1 second of showing this, they overlay it with an updated image (for some reason).
Google Maps satellite view used to show this as well but its since been updated and you can see PP mid construction. My house sits on top of what looked like a strawberry field or some other vegetable.
IrvineBS said:Thanks for the response guys. really helpful.
We love PP. its so non TIC!
IrvineBS said:You are right on that. everything is pretty high. I'm seeing price drops across the board for over 1M. Just got an email saying they dropped Piedmont 50K
Whats the average sq/ ft in PP?
Saw this last weekend. Very Nice.https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/117-Port-92618/home/59050903
first time seeing the "next gen" units.
and of course:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/141-Yellow-Daisy-92618/home/104498915
WAY over priced and the whole "14" thing but other then that, beautiful home
I keep reading about a 2% increase in melloroos. Do you know what will this cap out at? Right now total prop tax is ~1.55%?
aquabliss said:Both of these homes are overstating their square footage.
Port is overstating quite a bit. Actual square footage should be closer to 2,481. They are stating 2,658:http://www.irvinehousingblog.com/2013/10/14/a-review-of-the-springhouse-tract-at-the-great-park/
Yellow Daisy should be 2,515 and they are stating 2,550. This one could have reasonably be assessed as 2,550 but don't know what happened with Port.
*unless* there was a conservatory option here? I don't remember that with Springhouse though.
