Yay... you're still alive!!!Irvinecommuter said:After living here for a bit of time...my observations
Pros:
1) Good layout with parks and lots of greenery. Good for walking/biking.
2) Stonegate Elementary
3) Good exits/entrances with access to Portola Blvd, Jeffrey, Sand Canyon, and Irvine Blvd
4) Very quiet.
5) Not as dense as WB.
6) Far away from freeway.
Cons:
1) No shopping center within community thus trips to stores/restaurants require driving
2) Distance from freeway...especially with the buildup in WB and CV. Bad lights on Jeffrey and Sand Canyon don't help.
3) Small plots
4) Not as many amenties as WBs
5) Distance from Marketplace/District/DJ. But relatively close to Spectrum.
Personally, I like Stonegate slightly more than WB and much more CV and PS. YMMV

Ah, I see. So, you do live in Stonegate. That makes sense. That must be the reason why you got so upset 3 years ago when I said I didn't care much for Stonegate (based on my personal experiences), and the hatred for me was born, which is palpable until this very day. I can't believe you get so upset, though, when you yourself call the neighborhood "meh".
The California Court Company said:Because I am fair and balanced. Plus I have more problem with you having sour grapes toward Irvine in general and actively promoting that middle of nowhere white flight destination homeless book club high registered sex offender ratio crime rampant community known as foothill ranch
lovingit said:The northwest area where KB and Richmond American is building near the JOST is a nice area. One can argue that the landfill is nearby but nonetheless, the open parks is pretty good.
But is it me or does it seem like mainlander Chinese and Koreans are the majority of Stonegate residences?
