Cin City

It's lovely to have a little vacation, but even more lovely when someone else pays for it. We'll be down in Cincinnati on someone else's tab for a few days this week, while the Boy does the day-long "marathon o' interviews" with this potential new company. It'll be nice to poke around the areas we've been researching, and possibly see some of the amazing (and dirt cheeep) houses we've been looking at. It still boggles me how inexpensive housing is down there, even compared to our relatively buyer-friendly neighborhood. In order to live in a large, interesting reasonable fixer-upper house in a neighborhood comparable to the one we're in now, we'd only have to drop about 40k. That's FOR-TY.

Or we could break the bank and drop 60 on this one.

If you're willing to live in a cheap, cool house painted silly colors, you're in luck.

If you want a to live in a castle in a nicer neighborhood, you'll have to drop a massive 120k.


As it stands, we're shooting for some of the beautiful woodsy neighborhoods near where the Boy would potentially work. Whatever we chose, we'd never be more than 30 minutes of downtown. There are also some really cool mid-century modern houses I don't want to bother finding to post pictures of.

Even if the rest of Cincinnati turns out to be sucky... if we end up moving there, at least we know we'll live in a sweet house.
