Bridgeport is smaller and generally has a similar look and feel for the entire town (blue collar Philadelphia suburb) whereas Norristown is larger and is definitely more block to block. 

I'm thinking of those towns as blue chips, sure they'll continue to appreciate but the rate will be much lower because they're discovered, established, etc..., but there are people who want to buy homes in coastal areas and cannot afford those so they'll seek more affordable areas and my hope is that if you can locate those now and find the pattern/trend and hold for 20-30 years those are the areas that will have tremendous appreciation.Wow, this ended up way longer than I meant it to be, so if you've read this far I appreciate it!

Beyond work and real estate, we are also avid social dancers-blues and swing-and our current living situation allows us to host blues parties about once a month, which we love doing.

Check out the blue bar up top and look under the "Learn" tab.

I generally where my blue tooth so I can answer easily.

I personally compare Austin real estate prices to other Tech Hubs,  as we are now firmly entrenched with real blue chip tech for the first time.
