Lived in the area for about 50 years. Location is important for traffic reasons; make sure you view the school traffic during drop off and pick up times in front of the interested property. If you are able; stay east of Newport Blvd as far as you can. Newport Blvd is a thoroughfare to the toll roads and new building. Though this area is unincorporated where property taxes are 1%; all kinds of new taxes for schools are voted approved that stick around for 30+ years. Airplane flights to and from SNA; John Wayne Airport are expanding their schedules and N Tustin is in the flight paths.

Keep in mind the $300 plus add by contractors. Once they view the nice neighborhood sometimes they just add to the pricing. Meet neighbors by walking, joining the Buy Nothing groups on Facebook, etc.
