How about houses of columbus grove area

[OCLuvr]

OH?

 

[AW]

Altair should be going to cadence park once it opens. So close to Altair.
The next PS should be nicer homes, but if they stick a whole bunch of dense attached condos and apartments then there is no hope

It will also be interesting since Stonegate and Eastwood got zoned into Northwood High with OH while Woodbury/PS got zoned into Portola High.

I think these dense condos will still sell fine in the long run, albeit slowly.  It will cater to the local folks, young ABCs, and CBCs, who, are priced out of the market and their only dreams left of owning a home in Irvine is a dense community, in the far remote areas of Irvine. Folks like eddieuclabruin and invoke. People still need to drive, if they cannot get the BMW, the Hyundai will have to make do. But no matter what, still better than the Buick.  ;D

Based on what I know all new PS would be gated. I don't think they gonna build condos in gated area. And, your favorite Irvine company is coming to PS too.

PS is Irvine Co.  It's has just been ignored by IUSD and Irvine Co. for a long time.

I think if it?s gated, large sfr with views - It will be it?s own thing. and comp within itself like lambert ranch. It won?t help surrounding PS much.  TIC may even call it something else.

Probably never. What happened in Helena and Delano is unbelievable

 

[Irvinecommuter]

Can anyone, anyone tell me, when exactly will Portola Springs trade equal or higher (dollar per square feet) than say Eastwood? What would it take for that to happen?

I don't...that's going to be a tough sell.  Eastwood is at 500+ $/sq. ft new.  You probably throw in another $30-50 square/ft after everything is done.  ($100K to $150K upgrades).

This Las Colinas sold for $466 $/sq ft...that's about a $65 to $85/sq. ft difference.

Well that?s the thing right. No one?s first choice is ever PS. It becomes your choice after you see the value compared to other villages.

 

[OCLuvr]

Then, Lot of people are making 48% profit--not just 40%.

It was first choice. When you had to chose between WB and PS

Well if you bought a las Colinas for $1m, then yea, PS > WB
I?ve lived in both and actually prefer PS1 over WB but it?s subjective.

 

[OCLuvr]

Ps1 any day over WB. Totally agreed.

Well...WB was pretty built out by the time PS got started.  You got 48% appreciation because you bought at the lowest of lows while Woodbury was selling at the highest of highes in 2005/2006.

But going forward...it's not WB v. PS...it's PS, WB, Stonegate, Pavilion Park, Eastwood, Altair, and Beacon Park.  I put my money on Altair, PP, Stonegate, and Eastwood.

Ya that?s the thing. If you bought new construction San Marino or Carmel Tract in WB in 2011, it?s similar appreciation. This is really more about when you bought. And not really the neighborhood. But I mean I get it, you?re proud of your appreciation
