Hidden Canyon or Orchard Hills?

Don't you have a dispute also? Lol
Lol...Gasman I agree with you. These TB people are just pushing their agenda all day long. The key here is to notice that they are back all over TI after the grand opening. That means the grand opening didn't go very well.
Let me clarify.
What kind of person would have a physical fight just because someone didn't like their neighborhood?
Don't try to twist it on me.
The Groves are all TUSD. Unlike HC, OH has a school onsite--Orchard Hills Middle School. It is just outside the gates on Culver but still within walking distance. Originally it was designed as a K-8 school but currently serving grades 5-8. TUSD may expand this depending on overcrowding at Hicks Canyon/student growth at OH.
So where do the ungated OH IUSD kids go?
Posting this on TI is easier because it adds to the conversation of "walkability to schools" which seems to be a key con for Hidden Canyon. Turns out, it's not that convenient for the TUSD or IUSD side of OH either.
Fair enough. I think that's why villages like SG/CV are super attractive to those looking to buy new. I think the main difference b/t OH and HC is not the driving, but how you have to drive to get to the schools. OH doesn't require a far drive or any highways. Sounds like HC does. At least for middle & high school which given the median age of the buyer profile, that's probably what most is concerned about.
How about Quail Hill or Laguna Altura right next to HC? it seems like people who are buying there don't care about distance to schools that much as it seems homes over there are selling well at higher price than Northwood Pointe or Northpark which offers better location to schools. There are so many other things to consider when you buy a home. The record shows west side of Irvine wins over east side for various reasons.
Take either Laguna Canyon or Quail Hill Parkway/Sand Canyon to Alton, then Jefferey.
Also, I believe the bike path from QH goes all the way to Uni.

Maybe someone can clarify this for me but all of gated OH (The Groves) is TUSD correct?
So, like HC, the residents behind the gate will have to drive their kids to their Elem/Middle/High schools?

Ahh... didn't know that Orchard Hills is TUSD. And if only 5-8, that means that K-4 is at Hicks (which is not onsite).iacrenter said:

Heh. I assumed that the ungated side went to OH Elem.bones said:

So here is the HC/OH comparison for the "walking to school" test:
Hidden Canyon
Elementary 1.9 miles
Middle 5.1 miles via 405
HS 5.9 miles via 405
Orchard Hills
TUSD (GROVES/gated):
Elementary 1.6 miles
Middle 0.3 miles
HS 2.3 miles
IUSD (non-gated):
Elementary 1.4 miles
Middle 1.9 miles
HS 1.2 miles
None of the communities are perfect but at least OH residents will have a more reasonable option of a long walk vs biking to school. HC kids will all have to be Olympians if they walk to school.

HC people will hire nannies to drive their kids to Elementary and Middle School and will buy a fast car for their High School Kidsiacrenter said:

Technically, you can get to both Rancho San Joaquin and Uni High without the 405.iacrenter said:
