Alta Vista and Bella Vista at Orchard Hills

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Vow, Toll Bros are not known to start at low prices, may be the market conditions are not good? This is going to put pressure on Amelia and Trevi. I think based on the floor plans and the location if the market is reasonble Alta Vista is going to sell out immediately.
You start looking at some upgrades/options funny at the TB design center at you can easily surpass 500k. Then for landscaping easily add 250k bare minimum.
As far as Trevi, New Home Co is head and shoulders above TB as far as quality and customer service. I know from experience.
I take Jamboree North for my commute to north OC. Reverse (minimal) traffic all the way, scenic, and calming as you drive by the rolling hillsides. That's why we chose OH. For the reverse commute. I recognize there's probably relatively few(er) people who are in this situation.
yeah, the floor plans, lot sizes and views are tempting, but if you have kids and plan to have them attend Orchard Hills School, you'll appreciate living in a closer in neighborhood. Have you seen the morning drop off situation there? Its horrendous. I'm never leaving my Saviero neighborhood which is 5 minutes walking distance on internal greenbelt paths with no car traffic to cross until the kids are out of school.
though i do appreciate freeway proximity, i'd say most higher end communities (newport coast, shady, turtles) tend to be in the hills and away from freeways. HC being the most glaring exception.
i also appreciate the proximity to the 261 entrance as i commute that way frequently.
will also look forward to my kids walking to OH school, if they ever open up a few more grades there. hate to say it, but i'll bet some toll parents may drive their kids to that saviero cul de sac and drop them off there.
Site plan is up today. They have few good lots with 15,000+ sqft with average lot size >10,000 sqft. What is the typical size lot for HC?

noticed first floor framing for all 3 bella vista models and 1 alta vista model up too. alta vista with their large lots will have nice setbacks and much larger backyards. the bella vista models are almost up to the street with very small backyards for the home size.

The problem for OH is it is not convenient to get to the 5 or 405. Culver is already slow. And with all the houses being built on Jeffrey, it's going to get worse. However, this community will attract buyers with a variety of floor plans and most homes have 3-4 car garages, which is bad news for TNHC.
