[quote=Anonymous]I sometimes ask myself the same question. My DH and I both lived in new construction growing up. When we moved to the DC area from the Midwest, we loved the charm of older homes. Then we bought an older home and realized the many downsides (low ceilings, windows that won't open easily, lack of closets and storage generally, closed-off tiny kitchens, above-ground power lines). Some of my neighbors (in a close-in suburb) criticize new builds and say they'd never want to live in one. But having always lived in newer construction prior to our current house (1950s), I will always try to live in new construction going forward. Old houses are over-rated. They are all-brick on the outside, which is beautiful, but lack important features on the inside.[/quote]
