We moved in 2009, took advantage of the housing bust and bought a 3800 sq ft home in a nice area. But it's expensive. <br /> <br />Five years later, we are so glad that our lowball offers on even nicer homes were rejected. <br /><br />When we first moved in, there were only 2 neighbors. One had 2 Mercedes and other one a 5 series BMW. I drive a Toyota Camry. <br /> <br />As the neighborhood has developed, there is more diversity in cars and my Toyota doesn't stand out.<br /> <br />However, I still long to have our yard professional landscaped like many of my neighbors. Instead, I read landscape books/magazines and will get a Landscape plan and plant it myself. <br /> <br />On the bright side, I take comfort in having a mortgage in the bottom 10% for the neighborhood.<br /><br />Tina<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
