TAN #11: Shamelessly Pad Your Post Count Here! (Page 45)

i just hope he wasn't drooling

*snerk*

two things:

1. good afternoon (not sure what happened to "good morning", Tan
2. heading to Cabo in the morning for a conf. - work from Wed. to Sun. aft; play - including a deep sea fishing trip - from Sun aft. until Wed morning...and my wife gets to join me...yippee...

well done, grasshopper...

i'm with you - need to be viewing, caressing, or doing other things with them for things to "count."...

a few thoughts... 

lived in one prior to moving to the 'burbs...ours was fairly close to a place in Atlanta called "Buckhead" - good nightlife, shops, $$, etc...and when the time came to sell, we were in good shape (property value essentially dbl'ed in 4 years due to HUGE pop growth in Atlanta after '96 Olympics)...this said, there are lots of townhomes out there...while our propery value was increasing, it seemed that every apt complex in the world was converting to condo and new townhomes were coming online in droves...as you frequently hear re: real estate, location, location, location...also, look at demographics...townhomes typically appeal to two three groups of people - single folks making the plunge for the first time/DINKS (as was our case)/empty nesters...need to look at all of the variables that might impact resale before taking the plunge.

and to your specific question - yes, they do differ a fair amt from an apt...(usually) better neighbors, homeowners association (helps keep things in line - good for resale), quieter, etc....

Hello, K; hello, TAN!

I've lived in two. It really depends on the setup. In my case it was more like living in a real house, except that it was much closer to the houses around it, and was in a gated community.

But it was great 'cause it had a yard and it really was its own house and fairly spacious, and you can usually have dogs and whatever pets you like in a townhouse.

Also, sometimes you get shared amenities like pools and clubs with a townhouse (although that's apartment-like) that you couldn't have with your own house.

I currently live in a townhouse (we've been here for 3 years).  I love it!  So much nicer than a regular apartment.  My biggest complaint in other apartments was noisy upstairs neighbors.  Now, I can only complain about my husband. 

Some things to think about: the end units usually have higher heating bills (at least from what our neighbors say), parking is still an issue.  Depending on your neighbors it can still be noisy because of noise coming through the wall.

I'd live in another townhouse before going back to a regular apartment.
 

I love venison!

We rented one for the first 3 years, until moving to Philly.

We had plenty of space for us and the dog.  No need to worry about yard maintenance.  BUT...  We had neighbors when we first moved in that were our entertainment.  They would get into screaming matches in the parking lot, until the police came.  Other than that, it was alright.  It ultimately depends on how they are set up.  Our last house was a twin, and that was ok, so long as the neighbors were quiet.  But you get used to the smells of strange things cooking.  At least they weren't crackheads, like the people down the block. 

Question is, did it go in as deer jerky? 

late lunch for me...getting ready to "zap" Trader Joe's "Trader Ming's Peanut Satay Noodles and Sauce"...mmmmmmm

No, that was the mother of the 8 year old who called my wife a mothaf***ing b!tch...

Lovely family, that one. 

That's why we moved.

Yeah, that was our first place.  This couple would scream and yell at each other in the communal parking lot, until someone eventually called the cops, who would alternate hauling one or the other away.  It was at least twice a week, until they eventually moved out.  I felt bad for the 4 kids.... 

Don't fear, I'm not joining TAN, but I now understand.

I am completely going through Halloween Ride thread withdrawal.  I don't know what to do with myself anymore. 

Here's what I'm NOT going to be for Halloween

You've heard of Beth The Bounty Hunter????????
