Verandas – Tustin Real Estate New Homes for Sale

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

As far as detached Irvine real estate, single family residences go, Verandas don’t offer much in lot size nor backyard space, but when you consider the selling prices are as low as many of the attached town homes for sale in Columbus Square, those qualities suddenly seem a lot better. Built by William Lyon Homes, the Verandas homes offer three different floor plans and Tudor, Monterey, Colonial, and Georgian exterior styling. They range in size from 1,887 to 2,394 square feet, have 3 to 4 bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms.
Although somewhat smaller than most of the other detached Tustin single family homes in Columbus Square and nearby Columbus Grove, the Verandas interiors have great, open-feeling floor plans and high ceilings that make them feel bigger than they are. Standard features include environmentally friendly central air conditioning, 5E and RG-6U cabling throughout entire house, an interior laundry room, and stainless steel appliances (range, oven, microwave, and dishwasher).
These Tustin homes for sale are in construction phase 3 of 6. A total of 114 homes are planned. Current prices are running between $659,000 and $714,000. Children of Irvine families living in Verandas will attend Marjorie Veeh Elementary School, A.G. Currie Middle School, and Tustin High School. Community amenities include parks, walkways, volleyball and basketball courts, biking trails, private recreation centers, saline pools, and more. This Tustin real estate location is on what used to be the Tustin Marine base, very close to the Orange County airport as well as the new shopping, dining, and entertainment center, The District.

Old Tustin Marine Base Transformation Offers Great Tustin Real Estate Opportunities

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Anyone that’s passed through the Tustin/Irvine real estate area on the 5, 405, or 55 freeways has probably seen the two huge blimp hangars on the old Tustin Marine Air Base—it’s sort of hard not to see them. Well, the base is closed now, and in its place is Tustin Legacy, an under-construction 1,600-acre complex of homes, parks, shopping, and entertainment.

Ultimately, there will be some 4,600 new Tustin homes for sale. Many of them are already complete, including homes in Tustin Field I, Tustin Field II, and Columbus Grove. The hope of the housing developers is to build medium density, pedestrian friendly neighborhoods. To this end, there are a large variety of home styles in varying price ranges, including 160 units (15%) slated for low-income home buyers. Just to give you an idea the wide variety of home choices, here’s the break down of homes being built in Tustin Field I:

  • 126 Detached Cluster Homes
  • 52 Paired Homes
  • 58 Row Town Homes
  • 140 Clustered Homes

In addition to all these homes, construction is underway on the District, an 87-acre commercial center. The center will have three zones: a lifestyle and entertainment village, anchored by an AMC movie theater; a promotional retail district with shops, stores, and a gourmet grocery store; and a restaurant cluster. All three zones will have pedestrian accessible walkways. The center—or a good portion of the stores and restaurants, at least—should be open this June!
Perhaps the coolest part of Tustin Legacy will be the two-mile linear park running diagonally through the entire community. The park will have walking spaces, playgrounds, nature areas, and sports facilities. The park will serve well to tie together the entire complex, and as the planners say, preserve “the unique and storied history of the Air Station, the historic core of Tustin, and the nostalgic past of the agriculture industry in the region.”

Three brand-new schools are also in the works for the complex: two elementary schools and one high school. As for the blimp hangars themselves, one will be raised to make room for the planned development, and the other will be turned into a sports complex and veteran’s memorial.

All in all, Tustin real estate Legacy looks to be a beautiful place to call home and a very promising Orange County real estate opportunity.
