[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to remember that if you're not familiar with an area, you'll only see what is on the main roads.  And because some people don't want to pay top dollar for a house on a main road, sometimes the nicest houses will not be on the main road.  Or they'll end up being rentals and not taken care of as well as owner-occupied houses.  But then you'll get one street away and the houses will be very attractive.

Oh how I wish that were true.  But nope, we are house hunting and spending a lot of time on the side streets.  Budget is 1.3 million.  Many (truly, most, not just many) are seriously ugly.  Even bueautiful streets in Kent with $2-3 million houses, the next block over has chain link fences.  Hideous.  throughout upper NW and Bethesda there are So Many unattractive additions globbed on to blah colonials.  There are beautiful streets here and there (south 1/2 of Wesley Heights), a couple parts of Westmoreland Hills, there's always a touch of unkempt and rundown that creeps in to many of the neigborhoods.  It's depressing. [/quote]
