/EINPresswire.com/ -- IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/25/16 -- Following the successful Model Grand Opening of Brookfield Residential's Legado at Irvine's Portola Springs® Village, the brand-new neighborhood is now selling. With early phase opportunities now available and approximately one thousand visitors touring the stunning new collection since Grand Opening weekend, Legado's first two phase releases are nearly sold out. Home shoppers raved over these 3 and 4 bedroom homes that offer the ease and convenience of individual driveways; expansive open floorplan designs that maximize square footage; the highly desirable first-floor bedrooms (some with private in-suite baths) and the outdoor room options in both Residence Two and Four. The collection's appealing location was another key attraction, with homebuyers coveting the walkable proximity to the new state-of-the-art Portola Springs Elementary School, which is part of Irvine's impressive school system, as well as two new community parks equipped with pools, tot lots and more.
