[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a 1950s ranch.  Renovated it, so more open with high ceilings.  Had to redo plumbing, electric, but everyone comments on how well-built it is.  Our HVAC inside system is in a weird area because originally no central air, so to get it serviced or when we need a new one that will be annoying (we did not put the system there, previous owners did).

Neighbors have new build from maybe 2019, it is poorly built.  Neighbors complain all the time and inside it just looks cheap.  It is a larger home (4000-4500 square feet not including basement), but they are having issues with almost everything.

Pros and cons to everything.  [b]You have lead and asbestos,[/b] but who knows what all the new construction materials will do to us over time either.

I think the only issue is if you have to disturb it. In most cases, people just go over it, no? [/quote]
False. I have a friend whose kid is in really poor shape just from living in an old home and it wasn’t even “disturbed”. Think every time you open a door or window, lead particles enter the air and also your childrens’ brains causing permanent damage.

Live new. We bought a gorgeous new build in part for that reason. [/quote]

[b]Maybe the kid is just dumb?[/b]

I grew up in an old house, in a neighborhood built entirely between the 1890s and 1920s. Packed with kids. We all grew up just fine and dandy. High performing schools sending many graduates to elite universities.

I currently live in a neighborhood built mostly in the 30s and 40s. Packed with kids too. The schools send graduates to the best colleges in the country.

If you're scared, then you know where you need to live. But you are more scared than realistic.  [/quote]
