Help: Floor plan choice

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
If you have infants/toddlers, no old people living with you, and usually don't have guests sleeping over frequently, the loft option looks better IMO. Downstairs laundry will be an inconvenience bringing laundry up and down. Double garage vs 2 separate seems to be a toss up.


Regarding the future proposed cemetery's proximity...I think ALL the fobs in Irvine think any cemetery located anywhere in Irvine is too close, doesn't matter where it is...LOL.
 
Looks like the cemetery has a good chance of being moved to some other OC location.  Once this is declared, BP prices will surely double.

Buy now or be priced out forever.
 
@double mello

So what's your perspective on the cemetery?  And I think bones is still waiting to take that shot today...

Interesting new theory.


 
Open green space is ideal in neighborhoods, be it parks, avocado orchards  ;), or cemeteries. A well designed cemetery should be beautiful.
 
come on - not this cemetery yay or nay BS again.  doesn't matter what your personal feelings are - this thing was a long shot from the start.  and as much as people are like YAYYYYY cemetery - when it comes down to it, they don't want to help fund it.

Instead of taking a shot today, I had ghetto waffle + egg + ice cream.
 
OP - since people are hijacking your thread with this cemetery nonsense, I'll chime in.  Since the loft can easily be converted to a 4th bedroom in the 3bedroom plan, I think the plans are a toss up.  You can easily make the downstairs 4th bedroom in the 2nd plan a playroom/study/office/den if that's why you need a loft space upstairs.  At resale, the one with the bedroom downstairs may appeal to more buyers - I, for one, sold my 3bed+loft for that reason.  But again, hard to really pick for you since everyone's situation is different.  GL!

I've lived next to the West LA national veteran's cemetery before, half a block away on the same street (Veteran Ave.). A veteran's cemetery is actually quite beautiful if any have ever been to one.

But back on topic:
It seems like it comes down to where you'll likely spend the most time with your family, downstairs (4th bdrm/den option) or upstairs (loft option). If you think you'll ultimately want that 4th bdrm, I don't think option 1 is good because even if you convert that loft to a bedroom, you're looking at 3 bedrooms upstairs sharing 1 bathroom, granted it's a double bathroom but there's only 1 tub and 1 toilet.

Because it's in a good area. But if it was in Crenshaw, etc... It wouldn't be kept up as the one in West LA. Also, the sounding areas would not look nice.

(Who knows)

Since sales are not up to expectation, so the excuse is the cemetery? #weak

While the committee made no recommendation for a site to the full City Council, Councilman Larry Agran said he plans to propose offering up the 125-acre site toward the northern end of the park at the Council's Tuesday meeting starting at 5 p.m. The area would be near a former military landfill, a site long criticized by Agran for being too close to a proposed high school.

Agran said a veterans cemetery would be different. Not to be crude, he said, "but dead, buried veterans are hardly at risk."

Larry Agran wants our Veterans buried in a dump!  Where's the outrage from Pat Star and Our Gang?

Anything in Crenshaw for an extended period of time wouldn't look nice after a short period of time...lol. Besides, for those who made the ultimate sacrifice, shouldn't they be placed to rest somewhere nice (like one of the arguments those Chinese residents make that veterans should be put to rest somewhere nice). What's nicer than Irvine/Newport Beach/Newport Coast? I have faith it will be kept up if in Irvine. lol

"...we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? The fob living next door? The FCBs living in China that owns both empty houses on either side of you? These veterans have a greater responsibility than they could possibly fathom....And a veteran's cemetery's existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to these Chinese, saves lives. They don't want to admit the truth of why they are against the veteran's cemetery because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want them on that wall, you need them on that wall. They use words like honor, code, loyalty. They use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. The Irvine Chinese residents and aliens use feng shui, property value, the children's 5th high school. They have neither the time nor the inclination to explain themselves to the people who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom and property appreciation that they provide, and then questions where they should rest in peace..." -Col. Nathan R. Jessup

Thank you for giving me the information I really needed on this post  ;)
 
What would you say to a Scandinavian friend who refused to consider a house near the Jefferey Trail due to a fear of trolls who live underneath bridges in folklore?
