This is another one where I 100% agree with OS.
I think part of the problem with ocean front property is the other issues like traffic and probably being farther from amenities. And in that poll, there could be a price disparity, like 1 out of those 4 homes could be 4 times more expensive hence less numbers.
Do FCBs even like ocean front properties? I don't really need it to be ocean front, just an elevated property where I can see the ocean (which is not possible from Orchard Hills OR Laguna Altura... or is it?).
(yes... joking also)
Didn't know you can see the ocean from that far out, would that mean from PS or LR, you can see the ocean too? Or how about North Tustin?
ACTUALLY, Portola Springs does have spots where you can see the ocean. I remember viewing the model homes for Paloma and being able to have a clear view of the ocean and catalina. Another place in Portola Springs that has ocean views is Small Grove.
They invited all the restaurants in Orchard Hills Center to participate, makes sense, wonder if they misspelled SHIN as JINBEI??? La Sirena is pretty good, hopefully they'll bring some Sculpin IPA on portable tap. Haven't been back to Ren since the "owner" change, I would still avoid it looking at recent yelps. Where's McDs???

See... the premium is for the view not the schools.thatOSguy said:Yes, you can see the ocean from OH, but mainly from the TUSD side(not joking) and probably just a few days a year - post rains or on otherwise clear days.

Portola Springs is DEFINITELY not at a high enough elevation for ocean views (If it was, Quinterra would be in the $1.5 millions). Lambert Ranch is, though, so The Hill homes at the high tiers would have views (Hence, those homes were selling very fast). Even in parts of Fullerton, there are ocean views. (http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1835-Skyline-Way-Fullerton-CA-92831/25116645_zpid/) I am seeing a pattern, here).
Quinterra = no ocean views = starting at mid $900s (1)
The Hill = ocean views = mid $1 millions
M&M&M = no ocean views but closer to coast (technically) than the Hill and smaller homes = low $1 millions (2)
Turtle Ridge = ocean views + close to ocean = up to mid $5.5 millions (nearly $1000/sf) (3)
Altezza at Newport Coast = ocean views + ocean breeze = $1.5 million for 1900 sf condo (hence, nearly $1000/sf for small homes) (4)

Ocean breeze=Kaching! $$$ Kaching!
Even though Altezza is in a crappy school district (with Corona Del mar High's prom affairs and cheating scandals), people still pay!http://www.ocregister.com/articles/school-613929-scott-prom.html(for prom affair)http://www.ocregister.com/articles/district-600080-students-garland.html(for cheating scandal)
I honestly don't need to be RIGHT NEXT to the ocean. If I have to pay that much and be in a crappy school district, no thank you! Ocean view is good enough for me. I still don't understand the ideology of people who buy in Newport Coast (it's not like it is Crystal Cove!)
