Guys..i am confused about location...i heard EW is better located than parasol park..but I find that parasol park is located clos3d to I5 and 133 ..may be I am missing something?
IMO, the location is better if there are more established plazas, malls, and markets around than closer to freeways.
Irvine homes are all pretty close to freeways. It's a matter of driving 5 more minuets or so.
Eastwood is very close to all the main plazas in Irvine while PS, GP, and CVE are still developing in the unknown.
After 5 or 10 years, I think they will all eventually have markets near each village though.
I disagree with this. I've lived in both Woodbury and Great Park, and Great Park is *way* more convenient. To get on 5 or 405 from Woodbury (which is closer to Eastwood), takes about the following on a weekday:
5 without toll: 6 minutes
405 without toll: 10 minutes
to get to 13: 8 minutes
These figures have probably gone up since more CV and CVE residents are now using the same roads as Woodbury and Eastwood residents. Reason, too many lights! I'd be stuck at about 4 lights to get to any of the above, Eastwood would have even more lights to get through.
In Great Park, I use the 133 every day and takes literally 2 minutes from my house to get onto the 133, just through 1 light and I'm on. It adds up over time and I didn't move there specifically because of the convenience but it is considerably faster.
