[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live just a few blocks from there, so please take this as a view from a neighbor rather than some snob from another part of the county.

The immediate nextdoor neighbor to "the yellow house" has a junkyard in his front yard, and the only Trump sign I've ever seen in the neighborhood. I'm assuming the back yard is just as bad.

Not only is this on Philadelphia, it's basically at the intersection with Fenton. That's two extremely busy streets.

Across the street is a group house with a lot of folks coming in and going, and a house that was condemned and sold at auction.

It doesn't matter how nice the house is, as someone who already lives in the neighborhood and loves it, I'm not paying the better part of $1m to have that kind of traffic, risk, and neighbors. [/quote]

Former 20910 resident here.  +1.  The street is near that incredibly busy "triangle" intersection.  The front yard is Philadelphia, the backyard is essentially Fenton.

The houses around it...the junkyard and the Trump sign (oddly I see as a positive...a little bit of political diversity isn't so terrible)...I wouldn't mind as much.  Neighbhors change, especially if they might be renters.  But you can never change those busy streets.[/quote]

Okay, the Trump sign comment was maybe not me at my best, but the rest is true. The next door neighbors (not renters) have a junk yard in the front, and then the house right at the corner is maybe abandoned and definitely overgrown if not abandoned.

I love the neighborhood in general, and would happily live on Islington or another street that is close to Fenton. But the house you are asking about is on an intersection, surrounded by run-down and abandoned homes, and they are still asking $100K over what they bought it for three years ago. [/quote]
