Irvine Real Estate Blogger

If you haven’t decided whether or not it’s a good time to make a lifestyle change and move to a neighborhood in which you don’t have to shell out $40,000 to $50,000+ a year for your high school son’s or daughter’s education, here’s a reason to do so now—before the beginning of the 2011-12 academic year:

 Newsweek published their annual edition/list of Top 500 U.S. High Schools and Irvine’s University High School ranks #8 in the country. This is quite an achievement and one worth considering if you are planning a move to South Irvine, University High School is the neighborhood school for the following villages in South Irvine, CA: Quail Hill, Rancho San Joaquin, Turtle Ridge, Turtle Rock, University Town Center and University Park. 

One of the most affordable neighborhoods near University High for purchasing or renting a condo or townhome, as well as conveniently located within walking or biking distance, would be those found in the village of the University Town Center. This village offers condos/townhomes for lease or for sale in the neighborhoods of Cambridge Court, Columbia Square, Oxford Court, and Princeton Townhomes  as well as those offered by the Irvine Apartment Community (for lease only).

Past experience suggests that you should double check with the Irvine Unified School District’s enrollment map (plug in the actual address) to be absolutely certain that your residence address falls within the school of your choice, as neighborhoods may be subject to changing enrollment stats, and your new residence just may be gerrymandered out of the existing neighborhood school area.

Terms & Conditions of Use

When you, the buyer, purchase a condo in a multi-unit/hi-rise building, you may not be aware of the unintended consequences that can arise due to your neighbor(s) defaulting on their mortgage(s) and/or condo/association fees.

Depending upon how many homeowners in your condominium building are in default–those of whom have stopped paying their mortgages and association dues–will directly impact the condominiums reserves and the funds necessary to operate and maintain the integrity of the building. As a result, the HOA (Homeowner’s Association) may have to vote to increase the association dues/and or propose a special assessment for each and every homeowner in the building to cover the short fall resulting from your neighbors’ defaulting on their loans and/or dues. This problem can be compounded depending upon how many of the condos in the building are in default. (more…)
