Typical test mentality. You would be lucky if anyone even tried to touch you with a 10-foot pole.
I may not be interested in living there but was definitely curious of what "mixed use" project would go there as I drive by it every day. Stick the apartments right next to the 241, that's a good idea for buffer!
Perhaps I misunderstood his Frenglish to mean they will be between 1.5-2 but even that sounds a tad high. He definitely said over 1.5. I understood that for sure. He said he has a contact at Shea who has confirmed it. He has also attended all the meetings on this development. Maybe I will get in touch... or just wait until the release if I'm too lazy.
I will give you his contact info so you can reach out to him for more info. This is the Realtor I posted about in "Pet Peeves" who is e-stalking me on Facebook. I don't want to encourage him.
While that may be true in some cases, view lots command a premium overall...even when you have a front-row picturesque view of giant garbage dump. So it would be even LESS if you compare with a non-view large-ish lot in FR with a comparably-sized home on it.
This isn't a views are awesome/lame argument, I'm only saying that the $1.5M price with the max square feet advertised in BR is 50%+ higher than local area comps in FR. But the power of "new" and all those FCB's rolling in, who knows what will happen.

I'm sure there is little interest in apartments on TI but in case anyone wants to know what's happening at these two sites by the toll road. They will be reviewed at the next planning commission meeting.

@FRGUY Do you have the specs for Toll Bros 1F? I can't find it anywhere. I hope it's in the high 2s or 3s. Thanks!

There was a murder in Foothill Ranch yesterday afternoon:http://www.ocregister.com/articles/forest-520547-morlett-ranch.html
Maybe with the crime above you, and the criminals below you, these Baker Ranch houses will be dirt cheap...

So I talked to a realtor yesterday who told me the only new homes in Baker Ranch that will have much of a yard will be in the $1.5M+ range. He was a bit difficult for me to understand because of a heavy French accent but it sounded like he said the homes will go up to $2M. In Baker Ranch? Weird.

It looks like only 6 neighborhoods (A-F) are in the plans for early 2014. What about G-K neighborhoods? Late 2014 perhaps?

SoCal, find out more if you can (please) 
I'm looking specifically at the Shea development that was up to 2,300 sq feet. Hoping I can get that plan 3 for around $850k but looks like I may be out of luck. I also was hoping for a lesser price than Irvine homes but I have a bad feeling they will leverage this "No Mello Roos" thing to jack up the price.

Unless they change the name to Irvine Ranch... going to be hard to get $2m for those homes with no yard.
