[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no such thing as a "nice, normal" FIVE BEDROOM house minutes away from the nation's capital.[/quote] OP here; I live in a nice, normal 3-bedroom house IN the nation's capital (in one of those famous walk-for-a-loaf-of-bread neighborhoods) and it isn't worth anything close to a million. We don't need 5 bedrooms at all, nor half an acre--I just think that house has a great look. Sort of modest but still really nicely done. The reasons we are even contemplating moving are that we are kind of [b]over sharing walls [/b](one of our attached neighbors leaves her TV on all night) and our kids are approaching middle school. [/quote] There are things you can do to insulate yourself from sound.. in case that's driving you crazy now.. For example, if it's just one wall you have a problem with and it is plaster over brick, you can put up drywall and add additional insulation in between. Look into it.. As for schools, that's something else entirely.[/quote]
