We hate our house and have been looking for another for three years. We are on the street that feeds the entire neighborhood and we get a lot of traffic. Since it's on a steep hill that traffic tends to be loud, especially the pickups with aftermarket exhaust. Behind us is a grandfathered property that predates the suburban sprawl, and they have essentially a junkyard (although they never exceed the legal limit of five or six cars, they constantly change). We hear banging around their junkyard late at night, so I'm not sure what the heck they're doing dumping metal scrap from the back of a truck in the dark. The house itself is OK, I guess, but the finished basement was apparently done by a previous owner who wasn't as handy as they fancied themselves to be.
Finding a different house hasn't been easy, to say the least. We want single-level living, which is hard to find. Our biggest issue, though, is that when we find a house with the level of nice finishes, etc., we like, it's waaayyy too big. When we look at smaller houses, they really aren't all that nice.
So, the search continues...
