Lakeville is the Herndon of Minneapolis. It's 25 miles from downtown. There are some great houses in Minneapolis, but they aren't 580k.

So you wouldn't live in a newly renovated home or do any repairs or renovations?

Do you prefer the musty old smell of water damaged homes?


When we renovate, we're careful about which products we put in due to offgassing. All-new homes in the style of the one pictured usually have a large toxic load. But again, preferences.


Are you the psychic AMA?


Not the PP- but I would bet that typical spec construction doesn't take off gasing into account.


off gassing hyped up myth


Yep- a hyped up smelly myth


Yup, pay that extra cost to a company, good marketing

Mpls and St Paul are beautiful cities, and there are some super nice houses especially near the lakes, or in Edina, or on Summit Ave, but those houses aren't $580k.


Thanks for the perspective. People around here think that mansions are free everywhere else in the U.S.

Awesome quality of life, and the summer heat isn't nearly as bad as I expected. It's beautiful and green here, great roads, great economy & jobs.


Sounds great except for the fact that you live in TX.


Austin isn't like the rest.

Even the small homes have 3 car garages. I don't underst and why the DC area has no garage for the smaller dumpy homes. ALso I notice that there are new homes being built in the 2200 SF range where as in DC no one would build a new home for less than 3000SF.
