Shady Canyon Irvine Homes

Irvine homes have a variety of features but one of the unique opportunities for real estate home buyers is finding a home located on a cul-de-sac location.  A cul-de-sac is basically a street that comes to an end and has a gentle curve to it so cars can turn around to go back down the street.  The homes located around this curve are considered homes on a cul-de-sac which actually becomes a good selling feature when you go to sell a home.  One of the reasons for this is that it's considered a desirable thing for those who have kids and/or pets.  The idea is that a car is less likely to go down a street the comes to a dead end if they don't live on the street so it's presumed to be a safer location.  That's why it's not uncommon to see children playing in a

If you have spent anytime in Califonria in the last several years then you would see the boom in Eletric vehicles on the road.  The number of these types of cars will only increase as the race to 2035 when gas cars will be banned from selling in California.  I know I have spoken with car salesman at Mercedes Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach and they said they are really amping up their production of these electric cars which has become a primary focus for them.  Because of this large demand we are starting to also see a boom in ev chargers being installed in a home.  Having this located inside a home can be a huge selling feature especially for those who already own electric cars or plan to buy one.

First, the most common way current homeowners have solar panels on their home is by leasing them.

Shady Canyon has a strong reputation as being one of the top communities in the Irvine area.  For the most part a large percentage of properties that are currently on the market are listed for sale with a few rental homes as well.  The community does not typically have a large number of rentals available at any given time in part due to it's exclusivity and price range of these homes.  For someone that is new to the area and not sure about where they want to live renting a home in Shady Canyon makes a lot of sense.  There are several options when leasing depending on what you are looking for.
