Heck yeah. We are going to be out there for a full week this spring (November trip is only a weekend to visit family). If Sunny has moved by then, I will find a way to meet up with her!

Sure thing! I'm thinking I'll be there by Christmas...

*sigh*  My auntie didn't get to take any pictures of #2 at the open house...but, our realtor will allow my husband to take some on Tuesday.

One bad thing...it's not zoned for the school district we wanted for our girls.

Ho hum... :-\

I think I'll be there for a full week in May. We will have to get together for a little while anyway!!!!!

I'm game...there's probably a decent halfway point -- an outlet shopping center. We'll chat when it gets closer!

in our county, you can get your children in an "out of district" school so long as you provide transportation.

Maybe they do that there...

Ahhh...I will certainly investigate, but I believe you have to pay tuition of your child is not zoned in that district.

But, there has to be a way around that...hmmmm....

I like House 5, very estate looking.
In a pretty good place now.

Thanks, Pope...right now, that is our #1 choice, too! But, all are being considered. Just like anything in life, they all seem to have pros & cons.

House #5 is in the best school district, an excellant neighborhood, borders a beautiful park/playground (beyond the .5 acre lot), has *some* updates - needs more, but is move-in ready, and has been on the market long enough we think we may be able to play with the asking price.

The only con we see at this point are the taxes. EEK!

I like house #6.

I like that one, too...good school, taxes are okay, it's definitely move-in ready, but they're asking more than we think it's worth AND it's been on the market for over a year, which tells us they're aren't willing to budge with the price.

Whatever house gets chosen, Sunny, it's for sure.....you'll make it into a home for all :smile:

Okay, husband is in PA...and called this morning while driving around.

Looking at the exteriors, it looks like we're down to two houses. #2 and #5 (plus whatever the agent comes up with and forsalebyowners).
