My wife and I are actually concerned about the amount of Chinese buyers coming in (we are chinese so it's okay for me to say )... just wondering about your neighborhood experiences.  We generally like to be friends with the people that live around us and wondering if you guys get that feel.. or if everyone kind of just shuts their door.  NO TALKIE TALKIE!

So far my Chinese neighbors have been fairly nice and few of them are quite talkie talkie.  One of them sits in their garage with door open every night and chat away in Mandarin with other Chinese neighbors.  We also have quite a few Chinese Americans and they seem friendly as well and it's good that they speak English so we can chat.

This is also very similar here at Cypress Village.  My entire street are almost all Asians with Chinese been the majority.  I am having a culture shock as I move in and I'm an Asian. 

Woohoo.. my soon-to-be new street has at least 3 caucasian families.  Diversity FTW!

And that's why Homie prefers PP.

Where is Graphrix to tell me that there isn't more Asians now in Irvine?

Isn't that a violation of HOA regs to leave garage door open?  Are you gonna report them?

those are the type of neighbors I want to avoid.

haha.  If they leave it open unattended overnight it's a no no and I will report them.  But to let the cool air in and sit around after dinner between 6 and 9 on their newly coated epoxy floor, I don't see any problem with that.  They usually close their Temple by 9 or 9:30.

If you're asian and complain about asians moving into the neighborhood, you should help the ratio out and move out. ?

I did!  Now there's one less FOB on the street  ;D

i really dont see how any REASONABLE argument can be made as to why/how Stonegate is better than pavillion park. they border each other. one is all SFRs with driveways the other has the ghetto life apartments and a bunch of homes on motorcourts. although im sure irvinecommuter will jump in and try to argue. the same way he said saratoga was better than lambert ranch

Disclaimer that I don't necessarily think Stonegate is better than Pavilion Park, but here are some arguments that could be influencing an individual buyer to buy in Stonegate:

- Houses are ready for move-in (no need to wait for construction, landscaping, etc.) - there are close to move in at PP
- Prices may be higher due to supply / demand (less supply in Stonegate and only one builder) - dont think so
- Parts of Stonegate are already developed and there is no construction around you. not quite true
- Elementary school is already built and very popular - no guarantee that you move to stonegate and your kid goes to stonegate
- Closer to stores: Woodbury Town Center is across Irvine Blvd and Orchard Hills center is closer - by a god damn minute
- The buyer may have friends / family that live in Stonegate - this shouldnt even be on the list
- Mello-roos are lower in Stonegate and not in perpetuity - are PP MR in perpetuity? not sure here
- Stonegate already has a developed community park - there is a park in PP already
- Stonegate has tennis courts (PP does not) - asians dont play tennis in the sun
- A buyer may like the home looks / designs / floorplans in stonegate better - shouldnt even be on the list besides PP has better plans
- Stonegate is further from toll roads / landfills / highways than some of the competing products (PS, PP, Stonegate East, Cypress Village) - we are comparing stonegate to PP remember.

like i said, no reasonable argument can be made.

I didn't buy in Stonegate and don't plan to, but obviously enough buyers like it better than the other available options to buy there.  Whether or not you consider their reasons reasonable is irrelevant.

agree. its just that they chose to buy in an inferior location vs PP.

They need good buyer representation to set them straight!

When Homie says PP is better, what he is referring to is the Chinese population ratio.

#LessNiHaoMa

But #MoreTikkaMasala..

^^^you realize that was invented by the English, right? like Americans with burritos and chop suey?


So you are saying more Londoners with a taste for indian food are moving into PP?

That would be sweet.  The London Indian food scene is quite yummy.  None of that Natraj Tandoori crap.

speaking of good indian food the the pita bread at CPK is excellent. or is that mediteranean?

Have to agree with you.  when I was in London, all the indian joints were on point... All the restaurants that served smushy peas and their meat and potatoes were bleh
