Since LR is a gated community I don't think they will have any ammenities outside the gates. Also, PS is the competition so I doubt there will be any sharing of amenitities.
no one said anything about the cell tower being an issue or not - i was responding to someone asking what the water tower was. personally i dont want to live anywhere close to a tower. heck, i dont use bluetooth, use a wired headset, and take extra vitamin c when i fly due to the x-rays. i think they made a mistake putting houses so close to the tower and they will have trouble selling the top most houses that neighbor the cell tower.
on the toll road, i really dont get your point on this one. go there yourself and listen. the toll road is barely audible and thats if you are on the hill lots with the wind. if you are down in the flatter area, you just cant hear it. so how exactly can the toll road be an issue if you barely can hear it? almost all of irvine has major streets surrounding them. not 1-2 laners but 4-5 lanes on each side are common throughout irvine. everyone here agrees tustin ranch and west irvine are very nice. well i fly on jamboree at over 80 mph and am not the only one. i guarantee you can hear drivers like me in many of those neighborhoods
finally, and the most critical, the landfill. i cancelled augusta cause of health concerns and will quickly walk away from LR if i believe their is a risk. i am doing my research on it and i hope every other buyer is not taking the issue lightly as well. but the problem with IHS is that he is just repeating the same thing with no point and its becoming noise. and that doesnt help anyone. saying that you can see operations isnt true. you can see trucks on a road but you can also see all those trucks on portola and sand canyon so to me, its no different than being able to see those streets from your window. his other major point is that it will grow 500 feet from there and thats what i am trying to understand right now. my friend spent a year at the apex site in vegas, the largest landfill in the country, and there the mountain of trash doesnt grow but just replaces the existing mountains. not a fun image or thought but much more tolerable than IHS's dooming description of a trash pile that is 500 feet higher. my understanding is that the bowerman landfill operates much the same way.
here is a question for you - there is an active thread on las ventanas right now and nothing from IHS mocking the people discussing the lots and options to buy. yet they are just as close as LR buyers. so whats the deal? what makes people like you and IHS so angry about this development?

what if the cell tower gets you 6 fingers on 1 hand and the landfill causes you 7 fingers on the other? does that give you even more piano playing power or the asymmetry is bad?

2 mile radius will include all of potty springs, landfill ranch, stinkgate, woodbury, and most of planned Great Park housing areas. Then which new homes in Irvine can we buy if the areas near landfill, plume contamination and freeways are to be avoided?irvinehomeshopper said:

Are they building a water tower next to the cell phone towers? What is that thing on top of the hill?

The landfill is not an issue because you cannot see it today. The cell tower is not an issue because it looks like a red barn on the farm. The toll road is not an issue because you can barely hear it. ihs sums up the best.

The major plus that must be noted is TNHC actually built a community with only SFRs. That's a nice change of pass from TIC who crams in SFR with motorcourt homes with Townhomes with apartments.
One item that I thought was odd, was the relatively small pool area. As most lots do not look big enough for a pool (I'm sure the models were some of the bigger lots), the community pool will be crowded.
The $300 HOA with no meloroos makes the price point of the home very reasonable comparred to its nearest competitors in PS, SG and WB

I didn't think the pool area was relatively small. The only thing I have to compare it to is my current community's pool area, which is smaller but which has at least 3x the number of residents. That said, my current community's lots are much larger and many homes (myself included) have their own pools, so that definitely decreases the number of pool visitors, which won't likely be an option at LR.nytransplant said:

Does the $300 HOA allow LR residents to use Portola Spring's amenities as well? if so that's a sweet deal and the pool size will be less of an issue.

I would think that if LR residents can use PS amenities, the shared usage would be reciprocal and LR residents would probably go berserk if PS apartment renters pissed in their pool or water projecting fish head ponds.
