Date: April 17th, 2018 7:15 PM Author: Maize sinister reading party My job is in Irvine and I need to find a place quick. It looks like I will get out of my lease early. We are looking at Laguna Niguel now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35862787) |
Date: April 17th, 2018 7:20 PM Author: garnet national Laguna Niguel doesn't have a great commute to Irvine. It's still going to be pushing an hour. Rush hour traffic in Irvine is like Santa Monica. Only Irvine, Tustin and Newport Beach will have a good commute. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35862813) |

It’s cheaper than living in Newport or anywhere near the coast if your objective is to save money. |

Date: April 17th, 2018 7:27 PM Author: Maize sinister reading party Solid question. Will depend on what I propose doing. She wouldn't move to Northern OC, but I could probably convince her to move somewhere more inland if it means a better commute.

Date: April 17th, 2018 7:31 PM Author: Maize sinister reading party Too Asian and expensive for what you get. Might as well live closer to the beach. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35862906) |
|
Date: April 17th, 2018 7:33 PM Author: garnet national Closer to the beach is more expensive. If it's not somehow I would seriously question why that is. There's a reason Costa Mesa is cheaper (and Santa Ana is even cheaper than that). If you don't mind homeless people roaming around outside where you live and theoretically pitching a tent at any moment, then it might be worth the discount. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35862916) |

|
Date: April 17th, 2018 7:39 PM Author: garnet national They cleared them out of the riverbed and displaced a bunch to San Clemente but hundreds were relocated elsewhere in Santa Ana and some have been migrating over to Costa Mesa. CM and SA are sort of ground zero for homeless in OC because of all the drug rehab and outpatient clinics. And the cops in nicer cities will literally grab homeless off the streets at night and drop them back there. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35862953) |
|
Date: April 17th, 2018 7:54 PM Author: Maize sinister reading party Santa Ana is a real shit hole. I guess it would be more accurate to say we could be living in a nicer place in Irvine than we could get for the same money closer to the beach. But the places closer to the beach are fine for what we want. Don’t need to live in a brand new place and if we lived in Irvine, my wife would want to live in a nicer place because she is “sacrificing.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35863077) |

Date: April 18th, 2018 12:01 PM Author: Comical lime macaca You can rent a nice, new high rise condo or townhouse in Irvine for $3-5k/mo between Campus Dr and 405 between MacArthur and Jamboree.
You can find older townhomes in Newport Beach for $3-4k.
Apartments in Newport Beach are easy to browse since they are all owned by the Irvine Company. The newest one is Villas Fashion Island. Amazing grounds and amenities, Google Fiber, etc. But closer to $5k/mo.
|
|
Date: April 18th, 2018 12:05 PM Author: Maize sinister reading party Not going to spend $5k on an apartment, but they do look nice. I have been checking out townhouses in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. My wife found a townhouse she liked in Aliso Viejo for $3,200. I think we might end up living somewhere over there. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35867151) |
|
Date: April 18th, 2018 12:14 PM Author: Comical lime macaca Haven't check it out, but make sure to factor in the toll rates. I think 73 is like $7 each way. So if you will both be using it, could rack up $500/mo in tolls. Might push you to live closer to work. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35867213) |
|
Date: April 18th, 2018 12:20 PM Author: Maize sinister reading party Yeah, I have been using the toll roads now.It is like $15 a day - outrageous. My wife works from home, so we both won't be paying. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35867264) |
|
Date: April 18th, 2018 12:10 PM Author: Comical lime macaca Also, agree with others that Costa Mesa and Santa Ana are a bit ghetto. Stick with Irvine if you will be working all the time. You can probably find a place where you can walk to work.
Go Newport if you will have some free time. Beautiful, no homeless, no exposed power lines, flowers everywhere. Jog or bike down to Corona Del Mar beach or Balboa on the weekends. |
|
Date: April 18th, 2018 12:27 PM Author: Maize sinister reading party I will have plenty of downtime and don't care about a slightly longer commute. I just think Irvine is too boring and filled with Asians. Hopefully we can find someplace in Newport Beach, it does seem like the best bet. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35867310) |
|
Date: April 18th, 2018 1:02 PM Author: Comical lime macaca Newport is also pretty boring if you are not into nature. Some cool spots on PCH, but fairly quiet town. Also brace yourself for lots 40-50 year old women with way too much plastic surgery.
If you are looking to ogle nubiles, maybe Laguna Beach? |
|
Date: April 18th, 2018 12:18 PM Author: navy library Are there cheaper apts in Newport beach and are they any good (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3952141&forum_id=2#35867241) |
|
Date: April 18th, 2018 12:26 PM Author: Comical lime macaca Cheapest ones are probably close to $3k/mo. Tend to be a bit dated, lots of carpet, etc. But decent enough and usually pretty good amenities and landscaping. Would be a typical $1500/mo apartment in Texas/Arizona. You can get ocean views at Promontory Point.
Closer to the ocean, they will not have A/C. Might be a problem occasionally if you like to sleep at 65 degrees. |

Date: April 18th, 2018 12:49 PM Author: Comical lime macaca Yeah, you can definitely get cheaper places if go further inland. All the Irvine Co apts will be pretty nice.
I was assuming <3 miles from teh coast and like 1000 sq ft. Never lived in NYC, so I'm not adapted to tiny apartments. |
