I drove by that place and while the house & garage are superb, there almost no road frontage at all. The driveway squeaks in between 2 other properties and the land placement wasn’t that great. I’m sure some may disagree with me, but for 1/2M, I want more road frontage and land.

reasonable, just bear in mind that $500k is the new $350k though. 🙂

This just got listed on my route. Only thing I hate is the gravel driveway:

Makes up for it with the she shed.

The cabana building next to the pool is nice. @bing your two boys could live in there just like Will & Carlton from Fresh Prince.

Great neighborhood. 1.5 miles from my house. That’s going to be Heim Middle school and North High. I ride my bike around that neighborhood a lot. Houses are going to be Williamsville close together though unlike the places you’ve been posting out in Boston. Close to 290/990, close to shopping on both Transit and NFB. You’ll end up like me, complaining about traffic any time you have to drive south of Main between 4pm and 7pm, and basically just stop doing it because everything you need is north of Main. 🙂

Excellent neighborhood and there is a cool “car guy” at the dead end section with some serious pro-touring type cars in one of his garages. You’ll be besties in no time.

I bought my house in 2015 for $91.5k, every single house on my block has sold for over $180k+ in the last two years. There’s no way I would’ve been able to afford this.
