The post from a few days ago about privacy got me thinking about why people choose their specific homes? Like, we chose our town based on a number of things, location, schools, community, but within the town we had options. We found a house we liked that was set prettt far back from the main road, very pretty with woods surrounding it, and lots of privacy- but I really wanted to be in a neighborhood where I could see and meet neighbors. Houses on quiet roads were more expensive so we got an older house that needed more work to be done to get into a neighborhood on a quiet street.

The trade off if we are kind of far from most things and can’t walk anywhere. If I didn’t care about being in a neighborhood we could have gotten closer to town on a busier street. I know other people value privacy more, or the amount of land, or being right in town, etc.

So, curious what other people were looking for!
