York City Houses

Gee, a year ago I was considering buying a house, so I had driven around one sunny winter day and took a bunch of pictures. Well, at the moment, I'm not planning on buying a house for another 24-36 months (I want to pay the Focus off first, and I have 18 more payments to go). However, I figured I'd dig up the old photos and post why I liked the various houses (if I can remember).


Brick row house, with a decent set-off from the street/sidewalk, and it faced a shopping center that is never very busy.


I liked this one since it's an end-unit. However, it looks like the narrower version of this style (notice there is no window to the left of the 2nd floor bay window which indicates a larger floor plan).


Smaller house. I think both sides were for sale though given the condition of the blinds on the 2nd floor windows. Quiet neighborhood, but the house is rather boring to me.


Same character as the previous, but apparently the attic has been converted into a 3rd floor usable space. The floor plan is probably too narrow for my tastes.


Cute house on a corner. Garage as well, quiet front porch, fenced yard.


This design grabs me a bit more then some of the others, but it's a pretty common design for south-central Pennsylvania. Very nice neighborhood from what I remember.


This house is one of my favorites, lots of architectural detail and a side-yard. Wrap-around porch is attractive as well.


Ummmm, it has a garage, it's not frilly... nice neighborhood, but overall reaction is yawn (lots of lawn to mow).


Some nice architectural detail, seems like a nice wide floor plan.


These two are almost identical designs. The size looked right, and both had a side yard.
