Baker Ranch in Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
We're on Bell Canyon Drive, in The Estates. Lot sizes were really important to us, since we were moving from an almost half acre corner lot in FL. The first house we ever saw was in Aliso Viejo, and we almost fainted at how tiny the backyards are there (and in Irvine).
Dove Canyon is nice - it was actually our first choice when we were looking at homes, but after making the commute to Irvine a few times it was a non-starter, just too far away. If you don't need to be in Irvine often, Dove Canyon is a great choice.
One motor court home in pending state even though little bit expensive they are selling...

Most of the people are from small family or young couples, so I guess most of them just have 1-2 cars. It's not a matter having a private driveway.
If some people don't have kids or kids are not ready to school. They don't need to consider staying in Irvine as a priority option.
Or some people don't like living in Irvine again.
I guess same as Orchard Hills that is on the Hill as well. Maybe this is another bonus.
For the young couples or small family, maybe this is a good deal without MR. (Mortgage + property tax + MR + Insurance + bills) per month... they are a lot.
Some people told me Shea Home is better quality and taste on standard (option). People don't need to spend that much on upgrade. They also said the upgrade options are much better than Irvine Pacific.

Yeah if you had to go from Dove to Irvine airport area that would be a hike in traffic everyday. I did it this morning in 20 min at 5:30 AM with no traffic but that is not peak traffic obviously. Yes, you do need to toll road it most of the time unless you want to spend a lot of time at lights. It all comes down to what you value though.

Rush hour or not... I can take freeway or side streets and it only takes 10 minutes either way.
