[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you OP, but I think housing stock in the US for the most part is depressing. DH and I have toyed with the idea of moving elsewhere, but look at the junky new construction in places like FL and NC with the garage as the focal point. I couldn’t stand to live in some ugly gigantic snout house. And sure there are cute older neighborhoods in some more northern states, but then you’re dealing with really cold winters. So no thanks to that. Texas and Arizona housing is just depressing. I looked at real estate around Denver and thought a lot of it looked junky. Maybe there are nice homes in the Midwest?

I’m really not sure where there’s a critical mass of nice, well constructed, attractive homes with good schools for <$1.2m. Americans have prioritized square footage over quality for the most part. [/quote]

Most non-custom new construction is unappealing for sure, but nice homes are available in great locations for that budget all over the US. You just have to know where to look and it’s very localized (I.e. well established neighborhoods in second or third tier cities rather than suburbs or exurbs). The same can’t be said of DC. [/quote]
