Who it suits
Buyers who specifically want brand-new construction, modern floor plans, and the newest amenities, and who like being able to compare several builders' current product in one area.
Pros
- Brand-new construction with modern systems and floor plans
- Direct access to Great Park's recreational facilities
- Multiple builders and collections to compare side by side
- Builder warranties typical of new construction
Cons
- Premium pricing typical of new construction versus resale
- Newer area still building out infrastructure and retail
- HOA dues often higher initially to fund new amenities
- Less established landscaping and tree cover than older villages
Real estate considerations
Because this area is still actively developing, comparing a specific builder's current release against resale inventory elsewhere in Irvine is the most useful way to evaluate value here. List prices for new construction are a starting point for negotiation in ways older resale listings often aren't.
