Vernon and Charles Village but am open to other areas as well.

The selling points on the lot I am considering are that 1) it's more secluded (cul-de-sac) and 2) is larger than most properties in the village.

They've built as much into the Williams Village complex as they can and Boulder's anti-growth laws won't allow for anything significant to be built any more.

The village has spoken.

Anyone care to share their thoughts about the Birmingham, AL market (specifically the "Village at Magnolia" subdivision or zip code 35405 area) for single family residences (3bd/2ba)?  

PreApproved for 250K, but i would like to stay under 200K, probably more in the 150k-180K range.I need to merge my desire for the home to be an "investment first" (i will live in this home a few years and then rent it) with my girl friends demand for a fully finished highly livable home.The homes in the up and coming areas like Remington and hampden are not to her liking at that price point (not updated).Canton has some homes we both like, but they are on the smaller side at my price point, and i suspect i am buying at the top of the market here (remember i want this to be an investment) Charles village and Baltimore street side of Patterson offer inexpensive homes, but area has crime and home values are tredning poorly.

People move to our village for the schools and "Norman Rockwell" life.

i just called the village in my town & told the lady I'm bidding on a property & asked for the address. emailed to me in a couple minutes. i've gotten 4 reports that way - WITHOUT filing out any forms.A lot of these govt workers are doing repeated, menial jobs & are bored out of their minds. if you can carry a 5:00 conversation with them, they'll be glad to break up their long day.

I’ve talked to my tax accessor, code enforcer, and village to make sure we comply with zoning, taxes, and village rules.

Looking to update my current network of contractors as I embark on an update of a Merion Village home.
