eventually people wont care about this. hell, people dont care about it now. Augusta and the other WL townhome development sold out relatively fast - waivers and all.
Just cause you wont buy there doesnt mean a bunch of others wont. People buy homes that are right next to the freeway. People on these boards cant wait for the homes at the great park to be built and that was an even worse location, it was a SUPERFUND site.
just build it and they will come.
I think your dogs are indoor dogs right? How are you landscaping your backyard? All hardscape? I am a bit paranoid about those disclosures... esp because our former dog used to eat/chew the grass in our backyard so I wouldn't know if it was safe for him back there. Believe me, I was close to pulling the trigger at Augusta... but the wife said no.
my dogs are indoor dogs. our backyard, i mean sideyard is all pavers with a good size patch of grass in the middle so they can go potty. no plant, no trees or anything else. just grass in the middle and pavers all around. mine have yet to try to eat the grass in the backyard. they are never in the backyard unsupervised anyway. when i walk them one of them occassionaly gets in a bite of grass. keep in mind that although we had to sigh the disclosures, it was clear that the plume is at least 6 feet underground and it is not everywhere in the community. that is why they dont want you planting things with deep roots. grass doesnt have deep roots so im not too concerned but trust me, i pull the dog as soon as i see her making a run to get a bite of grass cause you never know!
regarding the price being right and anything will sell. i agree. however, i dont think augusta would have been priced higher even if it was not on toxic land. i think the price just reflected that it was in tustin with a bad school district. so it sounds like you are ok with exposing your family to exhaust 24/7?
I hate the noise more... do you hear the train over there? That's the other thing I didn't like that much about CS and CG... heck... I could hear the train in WPII and QH.
I think my Verdugo is kicking in..lol

side tracking from this pool discussion; I am surprised no one mentioned 10 ft first floor ceiling height - 1 extra foot will make the home feel more spacious - I gotta give TIC some credit for this change

I wonder how long it'll be before we see 3 story motorcourt homes popping up...iacrenter said:The Motor Court Company said:
There is no more space on their postage stamps lots to build except up. And we all know TIC will charge you extra for that...call it the "California Ceiling"
Columbus Square is next to a new regional park. Cypress Village is next to the 5 Freeway.

At the right price, anything sells fast.
You're right... I was just responding to test's post.
True... I wouldn't buy there either... but I would buy in Cypress Village over Columbus or the Great Park.
Fixed that a little.

IHO - before they started construction on edinger for the TR overpass there was no train noise since both Harvard and red hill are both quiet zones. Once the construction is done on edinger the trains will stop blowing the whistle. I can only hear it when I'm outside walking the dogs. Inside the house I can't hear the train. I can't feel it either since we are far enough from edinger

In that picture of the Hong Kong apartments, why are there no red towels? I see only blue ones... paging IHS... what do blue towels mean? The other gender?
