I haven't noticed the FR Towne Center being crazy busy much either, but once GP is all built out, I can see it getting worse. The newest parts of the Great Park Neighborhoods basically border Lake Forest, so it's closer to go to FR than Woodbury at that point.

My friends recently tried a new place in Garden Grove called Smoke Queen BBQ and said it was really good. It's a traditional BBQ place, but they have an Asian twist on some of their dishes. They also have a beef brisket panang curry which sounds interesting...

Yep! Right where the school is by the fire station. I thought it was pretty rotten of them to do that, but I wonder if it had to do with the fact that the Woodbury center was struggling at the time as well. I remember the shelves were half empty at the Ralph's at some point. They 100% should...

Jack in the Box at UCI center has closed after who knows how many years...it's been there so long that I can't even remember what it was before. Romano's Macaroni Grill at The Market Place randomly closed and is becoming Corner Bakery.

I used to go to the Happy Lemon inside Sunmerry, but have never checked out a freestanding one, so I'll have to go.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard someone say South County has better dining than Irvine haha. I feel like there are some good specific restaurants in South County, but overall, I don't know...

Unfortunately, I feel like Irvine, Lake Forest, and the Toll Roads are never going to come to an agreement about extending Portola. It would be so helpful to people living in that area.

I'm a big Aliso Viejo fan as well. I just wanted to chime in to say that many homes in Aliso closer to the 133/73 & El Toro are Laguna Beach school district, so you will have to venture all deep into Laguna Beach to send your child to school. Example: Top of the World Elementary & Laguna Beach...

I still can't believe PS is where it is today. Prior to you living there, it was way more affordable than other parts of Irvine...sort of a hidden gem (though not really a secret place), now it's Orchard Hills Jr.

2) Luna Park is not really close to any shopping centers currently. The closest center would be the one at Bake and Irvine Blvd, but that doesn't have any grocery stores; it has a few food places and a gas station/car wash. 3) Completely understand this part, just bear in mind that GP has really...

Is there a reason you specifically want to be only in Luna Park or PS? Are there any other parts of town you would consider?

If you're into good cold brew, Mameya coffee roasters next to El Ranchito is really good. It's a mom and pop Japanese owned coffee shop that sells/roasts their own beans.

Just watch out for the high AV HOAs.

I also noticed this! In the past, it seemed to trend more in upscale parts of LA when I would see homes are sold or pending or other parts of the state like the Bay Area. I don't recall this being common in Orange County until very recently.

I guess you can aim a chair in your house towards the windows and doors to take in the view :ROFLMAO: .

That lot is a joke.

They axed that idea to build the school. TIC doesn't seem to care about residents having enough retail in the northern part of town.

Side note - these same plans are in Westpark as well. Here's a recent sale in the Westpark version of these for reference: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/59-Del-Cambrea-92606/home/4625796

I mean they did a great job on the remodel and it's a nice size, but.......absolutely not with that price. Also...once you factor in that 500+ HOA on top of the price...how is that even likable? Better off getting a detached that costs more with a lower HOA.

OH is Turtle Ridge Jr now.
