We picked our place after driving by at 2am and noticing that nobody was actually selling crack in the yard. I'm kind of not kidding.

I picked mine because it had a great "desirable" zip code. And, a few things really really cinched it for me. 1) my phone number which I love was transferable to my new address as opposed to getting a new one, 2) the carpet went with my couch almost perfectly, and 3) the bathtub was one of those that wasn't the slippery kind. I don't know what the term/material of the ones that I hate but my tub wasn't it.

I'm just semi-looking for a new house, but I don't especially like those that have the clothes closets in the bathroom. It's probably handy, but I just think blah when I see that.

The fact that it was a log cabin sold me on ours.
Also, it's "out in the country", but still only 5 minutes from shopping.

We bought our house because it was the perfect size. Two bedrooms one bath. While a bigger house is nice, it's more to CLEAN. I hate cleaning
We love it b/c it was on a cul-de-sac too in DC and a working class neighborhood with actual neighbors who see each other and speak and just chat over the fence from time to time. Although it's an older house, I preferred an established neighborhood over a new subdivision where everyone lives inside their home and does not interact with each other

I might not be the best person to ask because we put a deposit down on the very first house we saw! But we loved the floor plan, the neighborhood was great, the price was right, and my uncle lives down the street. No regrets!

We mainly bought our house because of location (close to highway but it's not going through our backyard, close enough to family and law school) and structure (house was in good shape, just outdated). My dad is a contractor, so we figured that we could handle the minor improvements needed.
