[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the OP. Yup, that's the house in Hyattsville. You can sort of tell from pictures how it just doesn't really seem integrated into the block. I'm not sure if that's just because it's brand new and that could be fixed with some trees and mature bushes or if it would always seem that way.

We're not set on a new build and actually really like some historic homes that are more Victorian and Tudor style. We're more focused on if the space and layout works for us than any particular style, when it was built, etc. The only style we don't particularly care for is ranch/rambler.

I think our opinion of UP was shaped by the feeling that it trends older with lots of UMD professors. We actually saw my husband's old boss leave the open house we went to! I'd love to hear what it's like from some younger couples and families.[/quote]

I don’t know whether or not UP trends older than Hyattsville, but there are a lot of families with young children. My sister lives in UP with her family, one child in ES and one still in Pre-K. They have VERY active social lives with the kids at the center. Lots and lots of families. Went to the ES’s child’s birthday party. There were over 30 kids there (child’s friends and the younger siblings). I don’t know how many youngish married couples without children live in the neighborhood, but if you’re planning for kids soon, you will not be lonely.

There is the older professor and retiree contingent, but it’s my impression that this contingent is shrinking. It’s often their homes that are on the market. That’s who my sister bought from, an older retired couple looking to retire to a LCOL area with a warmer climate. [/quote]
