I'm not so sure. I think it is going to be tough building to navigate in. You will have no real sense of north and south. I guess that's what all of those iBeacons were invented for.
Got a tip for us?

It's quite big I goto admit - I thought it would be a bit smaller than that from the concept shots.
Those homes look almost photoshopped in. I didn't expect the campus to be jammed in like that from the illustrations.
I think the poster may have been referring to the construction. I imagine living near a construction site can't be that much fun.
Green with a capital "G"
After attending this year's shareholders' meeting at Apple's main campus, and seeing the renderings of the new campus, it left no doubt that this is going to be one phenomenal green place to work. The neighbors will not be disappointed considering what was there & what could have gone onto the old site.
This place is going too set the bar very high for all new corporate building not only Stateside, but worldwide.
"If you build it they will come!"

Already priced in. Those were expensive apartments from way before Apple bought the property. Now they're in "if you need to ask, you can't afford it" range.
Rents (and house prices) in that area ratcheted up mid 2012.
Yes indeed.
On the other hand a lot of Apple fans would want to be around during construction and some nearby residents could probably rent out their home for a premium to those fans (Every setback does have its opportunity
)
Their property values are going to soar. Lot's of Apple employees and Fans would like to live there.
Maybe Apple didn't want them? Maybe Apple owns them and doesn't want to tear them down?
Trees are being stashed away
I thought that the construction was going to work around the existing trees. I was mistaken. From the LA Times article Meet Dave Muffly, the Apple Campus 2 arborist (June 7, 2013):
Do you think that Samsung will take such exquisite care of their existing trees in their expansions?

Thanks for also posting the links to the older pictures of the construction site - amazing to see changes and progress over time.
How about adding a spaceship section to the "Roundups" showing all the plans, progress and pictures over time? I think that would be awesome.

I heard somewhere apple wanted them gone and they didn't want to sell. look at the satellite photos of that chunk of land, how could steve jobs not want them gone?
I have to wonder why they didn't design the building more vertical (like a 10 story building) instead of horizontal and spread out. Property in Cupertino isn't cheap. But I guess if they could get the land, why not?
