Could have bought and flipped it 6 months later for $300k profit.

Tic figures that if your ok with breathing the filth from the 5, then you are probably ok with being across the street from a superfund site. Who knows, the plume could be under cypress village by now.

Speaking of filth from the 5... I used to live backed up against the 5 (at Tustin Ranch Rd & The 5). I was surprised how much dustier everything gets inside the homes. You get this layer of light brown filth. I am not joking. It accumulates so quickly. It is really obvious if you've never lived near a freeway before. I don't know where this new home community is exactly but if it is close to the freeway, I recommend keeping your windows closed as much as possible if you don't want to be constantly cleaning or breathing this in. Of course, not being able to open your windows much isn't very cool either. Just my 2 cents. Been there, done that.

we stilll bought there. this is how is see it. if it was really that dangerous, you would think some government entity would not let you build there.  as mentioned by IHO, it was my thought that they were just trying to cover their ass in case something happened. ill let you guys know in ten years if i grew the fourth leg or not.
 
Plan3 at Magnolia had my favorite great room area.  Really open and was pretty neat how you would open up the sliding doors all the way across. 
 
I saw Mulberry with IR2 today... it was underwhelming to me.

These reminded me of the detached condos where you open your front door and the entire first floor is there. Although there is a foyer... it's not as separated from the rest of the home, so the downstairs feel really small. Like qwerty said, the kitchens are not very big. It's very strange how these homes are situated, almost like a box, not very long, not very wide (not counting the garage).

The garages do feel smaller, not only in width but also in depth... my unofficial measurements have them at 18x19... another box. They should have left at least one of them in the default configuration so you can see how much bigger the garage would be with the extra space in the back.

I will say that the 10 foot ceilings are nice... because it does have a smaller footprint, the higher ceilings makes it better (I think the garage ceiling is higher too). The Plan 3 downstairs is better because it has a more separated foyer (with a vaulted ceiling for ps9) and a downstairs room.

The upstairs are much better... good space and the masters are not too small (I think Plan 1 master felt the biggest). The master bathroom/closets are still small though. The Plan 3 upstairs is very large... nice loft space.

For these price points, in my opinion, they are not very good. Mendocino/Maricopa felt more "housey" which is weird to me because I'm not a big fan of their layouts either but compared to Mulberry, they had superior first floors. While TIC has addressed some features like including walk-in pantries in the kitchens and larger upstairs laundries... the feel of the space is more like a condo than an SFR.

The location of Mulberry is good as it is close to the pool, parks and future Elem. You can hear the freeway outside but once they build out the rest of Cypress Village, that noise will decrease. Not sure why test mentioned train noise as these homes are much farther away from the tracks than Columbus Square/Tustin Legacy is.

I think overall, the neighborhood is nice... it has a shopping center nearby, will have both Elem and Middle school... just the prices are too much for what they are giving you. I wonder if TIC considers CV more premium than Stonegate considering the products are a bit inferior but cost the same or more.

I did forget about the high ceilings...I did like those.

I don't know if they think the CV is more premium than SG, it's just that they get to start at a higher price point.  They probably "underpriced" SG and have been playing catchup ever since.  You cannot jump $20K per phase.  My sense is that the second iterations of the various models at SG will be much more expensive.

Also, CV feeds into Irvine High while SG feeds into Northwood.

Another consideration is the traffic on Jeffrey side.  The traffic is pretty bad there already with the shopping center...I cannot imagine what it would be like when there are a bunch of houses.

not for long, soon SG, WB, CV, PS, WBE, SGE will all feed into the great park high school in the fall of 2015? 2016?

For now, but CV will most likely get re-zoned to the new Heritage Park HS along with WB, PS and possibly SG.
 
If WB and CV get rezoned to GP HS there will be too few students in IHS.  GP will have 10,000 homes which is enough to fill GP HS by itself.
 
I'm really behind on my model home tours.. still gotta see Mendocino, Branches, Willow Bend, and Cypress Hill
 
false information. more than half of GP/HF homes will be zoned to El Toro High School.

You need to look at the zoning map and where the homes are going foo.
 
unless Larry Agran is lying (for which I will not be surprised):http://articles.dailypilot.com/2013...-board-fivepoint-communities-40-acre-parcel/2
"While developer FivePoint Communites plans to build 5,800 residential units close to Site A, the homes would be within the Saddleback Unified School District, catering to El Toro High School, he said."
