NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Yeah, the Somerset ones are really nice. They were a little out of my price point though. Looks like we are going to put a deposit on Jade soon. Hope everything works out.
It was a close one between the Jade - Harmony X vs Trellis Court Plan 3, but Jade is offering much better incentives at the moment for us. We also get to pick a very good lot location at the very corner and potentially avoid a double move.
Me too! The selling point is the rooftop deck and loft, especially with a great location. With the phase 1 versions being available again, we can actually pick a lot that overlooks the entire Greatpark and the home is scheduled for completion in May/June.
Took a look at Celadon this weekend. Loved the 4th bedroom and patio in Plan 3, but didn't like the overall floor plan. I went with rowland instead because of the simply superior common space and smaller bedrooms.
Celadon Pros:
- love the 4th bedroom, would be great for renters
- Patio is simply excellent
- If you have the $$$, roof top deck is awesome.
- Wide stairs is impressive!
- Seafoam green elephant logo = best logo
Celdaon Cons:
+ Not enough space allocated to common areas, kitchen living room area lack dining room space
+ What the hell were thinking with the AC unit? It blows like a jet engine right next to the bedrooms!
+ Too few items come standard...seriously....optional refrigerator at the 750K price-point???
I only have experience with stonegate, but I don't think any of the Irvine new home builds come with refrigerators, unless someone can chime in
I will definitely say. From my experience with Irvine pacific (SG) and shea homes (baker ranch) Lennar is definitely one of the best at giving good "standard options" many of which would be upgrades at other sites. I was looking at Central park west and those standard options really made it an appealing offer, though proximity to the 405/santa ana high was the deal killer
at willow (KB homes), all appliances were standard. Rowland (lennar) also includes all as standard. Never thought about checking others because I didn't take the others seriously enough.
I get there are two ways to look at it - if you are spending 750K on a home, you can spend 3K for a fridge...but the same argument could be set the other way: you are already spending 750K on a home, why does it not come with a fridge!??!
Nah.. im just a lurker that found this site while researching properties / areas of Irvine.. renter turning homeowner ...
We went with Lanterns, but haven't moved in yet. It seems a few folks have been moving to Lanterns and Somersets, so it does seem Lennar is a bit farther ahead than other builders.
Did you check out the newly released doomsday bunker collection? It's all the rage!
Can't wait to move in.. I really like the vibe of the community.. even with the impending threat of cancer I still love the area lol

I had forgotten how little comes "standard" in many homes these days... We did the math on upgrades we would have needed with other builders/models and it was overwhelming... Like I posted above, we ended up with Lennar and I am sure they make up the $$ anyway on pricing.. but we got some incentives so I wont complain too much.
