Affordable Housing next to PP
- Thread starter test
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
The way it is labeled it looks like only Lot 6 has that designation. My guess is that would be some higher density product--?attached townhome/condos to achieve a lower price point.
Lot 2-6 look like terrible areas to live given their proximity to the 133. Lot 6 designated affordable housing is the worst location, corner of 133 & Irvine Blvd. Also being adjacent to a "Water Quality Basin" (sounds fishy for a flood control area) doesn't sound good either.
I believe this is TIC property.

Interesting as how the GP salespeople were touting how they don't have apartments or other high-density housing in their village compared to TIC ones.

Looks like on the map, it will be southwest of the model homes built along 133

Also, per the the website...
"The development plans call for construction of 4,895 homes, a 5-acre police station and 1.2 million square feet of shops, office, institutional and R&D space. ....... Also, 544 apartment units will be built to meet the project?s affordable-housing requirements."

Irvine City promised the state to provide a minimum quantity of affordable housing for lower income families and age restricts population. To do these the developers must take a huge hit on land value since the products are not market rate. Many may see this as negative adjacencies the developers often use the negative premium locations to justify the uses. City of Irvine has more negotiation leverage with Five Points than other developers therefore we will see more integrated diversities in Great Park.

I've found that the low income housing condos crowd seems to take care of the place nicely and really appreciate that they are living in a good community and take pride in it.
The low income apartments crowd on the other hand, not so much. At least that's my initial impression from seeing some of each in Columbus Square and Woodbury. Every time I drive in or around the low income apartments in Woodbury I hear cars with bass bumping and have seen a few shady characters milling around.

so how does Senior affordable housing work? you have to be 55+ years old to qualify living there? I don't mind the older crowd they tend to be better neighbors and quiet and respectful. I just worry that people get around that requirement by falsifying info to get cheaper rent , then we end up with seedier young crowd at PP, they are also right across ridge valley road so can "hang out" around the park. I noticed on weekends some younger seedy crowd driving really fast around Woodbury town center , they will either kill someone on foot or cause a major accident. One road incident I noticed a car stopped for a pedestrian getting in/out of trader joes and the crazy car behind was speeding and almost hit the other car and blew there horn. Don't want this type of people in PP
