Participant[quote=PadreBrian]The issue I have beyond the 1 bath norm in Allied Gardens, is there is ZERO insulation in the walls on those post-war cottages (high heat & cool), single pain windows, wiring is poor, pluming sucks, and zero storage. Other than that they are just fine.

I’ll concede most of your points except for the fact that my house (and many in this area) have been retrofitted with dual pane vinyl windows.However, the 50 year old construction quality FAR exceeds the stuff they are throwing together in CV these days.

It was only a mile. And it was rolling hills. It never snowed.

I’m not sure how many bedrooms a couple with a child need. Seems like 2?
[/quote]Personally, 1 bath is the killer. I hate the idea of kids, parents and guests of all kinds sharing that one bathroom.
Two bedroom might suffice with one kid. But if you are planning on having one you are most likely open to an idea of having two. You need to be open to an idea of trading up. With 10% transaction cost and no appreciation in the next several years the temporary stay in 2/1 can be very expensive.
[/quote]My how entitled we’ve become these days. 3000 sq ft houses for 2-4 people, 400+ sq foot bedrooms for the kids? Our own bathrooms?
When I was a kid, we had about a 1600 sq foot house for 6 people. My brother and I shared a room and my two sisters shared another one. All 4 of us shared one bathroom.

ParticipantPeople are still paying over $300k for 2/1 and 2/2 condos in the county, why do you think it is a problem for them to pay that much for a HOUSE with a YARD?
Here’s a community that I’m familiar with. These units went for about a buck and a quarter brand new in 1994.
