Across the street from Irvine High School is the community, El Camino Real.  This home is nicely located at the end of a cul-de-sac street running parallel to Walnut.  If you are looking for a single story home in the area, this home would be worth looking at, although it is higher priced than comps over the past 6 months.  It is fully remodeled with added square footage.  It feels like you are walking into a home from a new community and unlike other homes that have recently sold, it has 3 full bathrooms, indoor laundry, new windows and upgraded features.  Because of the added square footage, the yard space is smaller than neighboring homes, however there is still space on the side of the home for kids to play.  Let’s explore if the higher asking price is justified.

Located in a gated community near Northwood High School, 58 Montrose is a 4 bedroom home. The price has had a recent reduction from 1,198,800 to 1,119,800.  Last week I reviewed 84 Montrose that was advertised as a 4 bedroom property, but was actually a 3 bedroom plus a loft.  The neighborhood is a small circle with three small cul-de-sac streets jutting off of Montrose.  This property sits on the curve, so cars that enter through the gates and turn right onto Montrose drive towards the property’s front of the home while circling around the street.  The property is slated for Canyon View Elementary, Sierra Vista Middle School and Northwood High School.

Asking Price:               $1,119,800
