[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I'm the one who asked what you like. You are right - you won't find that kind of architecture here. And I'm not going to defend much of the housing stock in the DC area - too much of it is new and I don't really care for what passes as "luxurious" that was built since the 80s. I'm kind of okay with the new faux craftsman stuff. Most of the houses built before that were modest and that accounts for many of the additions that seem like afterthoughts because they were. But I also find that Spanish and southwestern style stuff unappealing. For me, the reason why the houses seem nice is that the landscape itself can be impressive. But those square boxes and tile roofs don't do a thing for me, and the modest stucco things are truly dreadful. Irony is I'm stuck in a stucco house here - it was in my price range because they're not in demand. It's in the eye of the beholder. [/quote]
