LETSGOBROWNIES Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I’ll never understand the appeal of spending $750k on a house in a subdivision that’s right next to some other schmuck’s house. If I had 750k to spend on a house, I’d buy a bit of property for 200k and build a 500k home. Who on earth likes having neighbors up their arse? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived in neighborhoods pretty much my whole life until the last 2 years. I get taking care of land isn't for everyone, but I love my 2 acre plot and a handful of neighbors within a 1/2 mile. Even if it's not "for you", that's the way to go...buy some land and even plant a bunch of trees and convert it into woods you don't need to keep up with if you don't want to landscape and mow. I don't get the "Big City Vibe Suburbs Edition" feel that a lot of these communities are going with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big poppa pump Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 These hillbillies in my development let their kids ride dirt bikes, and want to have 4 wheelers.....GET SOME LAND DUDE. I am definitely NOT someone that wants to take care of a big lot, but my next home will be one that has more space, and NO HOA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our realtor showed us houses when we were looking called......lifestyle community homes? Maybe? They were all free standing normal houses, but they were built 5-10 ft. apart. I could seriously stand between two houses and reach out and touch both of them. Thats when I told my realtor we need to have another talk about what we are looking for lol Doing your idea is great in theory, until you have to drive 20 mins to run a simple errand because you arnt located near anything. Thats what I cant get past. Trying to find a place that is close to things to do but at the same time has some space where the houses are not on top of eachother is impossible. Thats more of a northern Ohio thing, everything is central Ohio is built ontop of eachother unless you want to live out in the middle of nowhere.

It’s a half a million plus to be able to high five your neighbor from out your windows. Hard pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live 20-25 minutes away from most places I need to run errands. I personally love it…I’ve just learned to run them after work or on weekends. Sometimes it’s frustrating when I’m doing a house project but other than that it’s great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Getting excited about college football around the corner. Was looking at a montage and saw this play. It’s still the most insane ending I’ve ever seen to a game. Georgia fans had to feel truly cursed seeing this live. That was exactly a week before this: Edited August 20, 2022 by candyman93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a NYC based realtor, and looks at apartments all over the different boroughs. I have no intention of living in NYC, or even ever visiting again. I spent 6 months as an exchange student in Sao Paulo Brasil in the early 80's (about double the size of NYC), and I didn't feel anywhere as intimiated by the city as I did spending 4 days in NYC in 1995. (I did get to see Laura Linney in an off Broadway play, and became a big fan.) Ok, back to the realtor guy. I watch as I'm just curious, often shaking my head in disbelief, about what people are renting and living in in NYC. Can't believe the cost either. Amazing how much they "live on top" of one another. I could never do it. I'm with @LETSGOBROWNIES about having the big piece of land and the house on it. Not in the budget, but if it was, that'd be the route I'd go.

JDD Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Living in a big city like NYC LA or Chicago adds some good things too. I mean you are usually able to walk anywhere you want to eat, drink, shop, etc. You also get the “cool” experience when talking to people out of town. Single I would have loved to live in a big city for a few years. With a family and where I am now I’m looking for land. Even if that means keeping our burbs house for the schools and we go there for long weekends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moral of the story, if some loudmouth wants to pick a fight and you have a wife and kids, walk away it’s not worth it. People are stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
