I have a friend who purchased a Plan 3 with loft last year. I am constantly waiting for the property tax information to come online so I can see how much the actual Mello Roos cost is. PS is supposed to be brutal in that.

Its a great looking place, interior is nice. Master bedroom/bathroom (takes up half the 2nd floor) is very nice but the other 3 bedrooms are the tiniest bedrooms I have ever seen. I am not sure of the exact purchase price due to incentives and the improvements he got. But either way I would never think of touching this place at the 700k price tag.

Thanks for finding that. I wonder if people knew that going in when they bought in Portola Springs? We got tempted a couple of times but it was the exorbitant HOAs and Mello-Roos . . . er, "Community Facilities District" taxes . . . er, "fees" that stopped us.

There were a couple of people around here in the past (North Irvine Realtor being one of them, I believe) who said that they wanted to live in an area with CFD taxes because it meant everything was newer. More power to 'em.
 
technically, probably not.

But from what I have heard, because the entire amount is lumped together, most people write off everything.
 
Just picked up a new price list in case anyone is interested

Plan 1 - 602,880 to 607,857 (a good 30% drop from the highest price zovall listed!)

Plan 2 - 638,880 to 647,880

Plan 3 - 659,880 to 699,880

HOA dues currently $300... @build out $275 (up $25 than orig listed)
