Open House Review: 9 Riveroaks

In the gated community of Bella Rosa in Northpark Square, this desirable one story home sits nicely on a cul-de-sac street. At the end of the cul-de-sac is a cinderblock wall with Bryan just on the other side.  Traffic was not heard from the property, perhaps because the water feature was on in the backyard and Bryan is not as heavy as Culver, but on regular school days buyers should be aware that the school band and activities are audible from Riveroaks.  The property is slotted for the Tustin School District.  Students can easily walk to Beckman High School, just across the street from Northpark Square and the property is conveniently close to the Marketplace and Northpark Center.

Asking Price:                $1,099,000
Bedrooms:                    3
Bathrooms:                  2.5
Square Footage:          2,200
