Altair - new Irvine luxury housing by Lennar/Toll Bros - not Great Park, not TIC
- Thread starter paperboyNC
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Kinda agree here, I don't see it being $1m... it's in ground pool with a nice seating area inside and fire pit plus nice modern looking Trellis on the side, etc. but if it's through the builder, then the up charge could be there I guesshttps://www.tolllandscape.com/
Ridiculous if this yard anywhere close to 1 million dollars. Let's say its 900 K, I can do all that for 350 K or even less.
Wow, that's gorgeous.
I'll feel bad because I'd love to buy that single story 4-car garage home at Alta Vista but that would mean I'd have to sell everything I have including my rentals and all my cars and probably live on cup of noddles (which I can't since I'm low carb'ing it). haha But I do want to re-do my front and rear landscaping so I'll probably head over there to get some ideas.

Grand Opening next Saturday. http://altairirvine.com
I still don't see how the heck they are going to sell all these homes. The place is huge and the MR's are daunting. So many better options at the Groves with comparable prices.

I looked at the floorplans for the $1.2m ones (upper!) and I can't believe that's all you get.
It's the typical box-on-box great room plan and some are only 3 bedroom.
Those PP 3CTGs with 4br and a loft look so much better now.

Grand opening was impressive. Well organized with good parking and frequent shuttle buses unlike the typical TIC circus. Gelato, crepes, hamburgers, boba - generous portions aind quick lines.
Worth checking out the Estrella models and also Alara - surprising for TB since the 3 story modern architecture seemed like a copycat of Parasol Park (but better). One of the Alara's reminded me of an Alta Vista lite.
All of the TB homes had the typical grand foyer which really eats into the square footage. Even in the 6,000 sq foot homes, the secondary bedrooms were tiny. I also hate that TB only installs crank windows which are a real PITA to open and close.

Grand opening was great, but overwhelming. Only had the time and energy to walk through four sets of model homes. The Lennar models were pretty underwhelming when compared to the Toll Brothers models, but I guess that has to do with Lennar?s ?everything?s included? deal. The Toll Brothers models were expectedly spectacular. I was really impressed by the 11-foot ceilings downstairs that they offered at Estrella and Alara (they may have had them at Meridian and Solano too, but I didn?t get to visiting them today). The backyards at Estrella were something else.
You could tell the neighborhood is going to feel great within the gates once it?s built out, but I personally wouldn?t buy here. I don?t think I could see past the fact that it?s pretty much in the middle of nowhere (for now). There?s a big question mark regarding what will be in front of the community across Irvine Blvd, now that the cemetery landswap is a done-deal. I?m hoping FivePoint develops some sort of shopping center in this area for the sake of everyone in Altair, PS, and GP, but I?m not holding my breath. Other that, I could definitely see the appeal of buying here.
