Orange Park Acres

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
The whole area is out of bounds says my structural engeneer wife because of soil liqufaction during earthquake.



Also, everyone there has horses. At least 60% of the residents do. You can't get away from them.
 
Soil liquefaction issue does not appear to be an issue for OPA based on the following:

As for the smell, I am familiar with OPA and there are parts where the smell is hardly noticeable and parts where the smell is definitely noticeable. It depends on where you live in OPA. No matter, I would argue that it's not as bad as Norco or cities with pastures. I went to visit a friend in Norco and the smell (as well as flies) was quite unbearable.
 
Of course, you are right about the liqufaction.



I posted about a year and a half ago the same cite in reference to Anaheim Hills and Villa Park being problematic. I erroniously included OPA and should not have.



Sorry for the bad data on my part.
 
No problem, I can see you post a lot and provide help to many. The research did tell me that portions of Villa Park and Anaheim Hills have this problem, good to know....
 
A developer is trying get city approval to build 500+ senior housing units in Orange very close to OPA, big issue with residents there. Apparently 28 acres will be devoted for senior housing project and will include 10 3-story buildings for senior housing units. Don't know if this is a good thing, but 500+ units seem quite a lot....will this cause a significant lowering of home prices nearby? What is the general effect of a large senior housing center in a neighborhood? I guess the residents would prefer that over low-income housings....
 
Vastly perfered.



Gramps and Gram can live in the closet down the hill. Paco and Maria who clean and do yard work - <em>never.</em> They are relegated to El Moderna.
 
novas, it seems like the demarcation between el modena and the surrounding more wealthy communities is really block-by-block, N,S, and E. (west not somuch). is this really the case that you have shacks with ghetto gates across the street from or next to the half acre swanky pads? or am I missing some buffer when I am perusing redfin?
 
No, that's exactly the case.



Literally from neighborhoods that had dirt streets untill a couple years ago to the highest end properties in OC outside of Newport in a couple hundred yards.
 
While driving around over the weekend, I ended up wandering through here and found it quite appealing. IMO, with the ranches, horses, and farming equipment type of scenery, it has a Paso Robles (or any other similar area) type of feel. Sort of like Modjeska Canyon or out that a way.
 
I now live in OPA and notice a lot of visitors on the weekend riding bikes, motorcycles (usually Harley's), hiking, jogging, etc. The Santiago Canyon Road is especially popular since it is a great scenic driving road, between OPA and Modjeska Canyon. Guess, people are attracted the country like surroundings of OPA, with horses, large lots, country style houses, etc.

They are headed for <a href="http://www.cookscorners.com/">Cooks Corner</a>. When they have charity rides the noise on Santiago is unbearable. Love the charity rides, don't have to love the noise.
 
Passed by Cooks Corner many times, never stopped by though and tried their food. There's a nice Mexican restaurant up the road a bit, got a nice outdoor patio in the back, pretty good food. Can't recall the name.

Next time you are out that way, go to <a href="http://www.trabucooakssteakhouse.com/index.htm">Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse</a>. Honestly, it is one of the best steaks you will find in OC, and their wine prices are ridiculously low for the names that they carry. It's a nice place to go after you have hiked to the waterfall and back in Holy Jim canyon.
