I know some of you have said that it feels like a ghost town...but I just think it felt more private. However, it's way too close to the toll road and landfill, so we ruled it out. But, I was wondering...what are those huge towers atop the right hill behind it? Are they water reservoirs? Anyone know?

Are you talking about the cell phone towel disguise as a water towel located in the Lambert Ranch?
I remember during the Lambert Ranch discussion, close proximity to landfill, toll road, and cell phone towel are the major negatives for that community. Come think of it, that cell towel is very close to Quinterra.

lovingit reporting a plan 1 at $950k? Is that more reduction or just base price?

The big detractors were the location and that you could get similar sized floorplans with bigger lots and a 3rd car garage at Pavilion Park for the same price (at the time).
Plan 1 at sub $1m with the Conservatory and the loft is a decent buy. I know it's funny that I think a 3rd car garage even though it doesn't add to home square footage is a strange tipping point... but it was for us (or me rather).
If you are not tied to a specific location, there are 3CWGs in Northwood that trade in the $900ks (no Mello Roos even makes the monthly cheaper).lovingit said:irvinehomeowner said:We really liked the Quinterra plans.

3 car garages in irvine are at least 1.2m for newer homes, I gave up on that.

They are older resale, but the neighborhoods are nice (even gated ones).
Heh... another twin. I think this is one thing I can compromise on as long as the laundry room is its own separate space and not as the pass-thru to the garage or in the garage.lovingit said:W/D upstairs is key nowadays.
Which ones? The older resale ones have the ps9-vaulted ceilings. I'm used to 20-ft not these 11ft you see at M&M in Cypress Village.Newer floorplans have higher ceilings too.
