1 - nice but I’d need to rip out all the trees and bushes that are so close to the house… just my taste
2 - beautiful! Great colors. Similar in style to #1, but better landscaping. I like that the bushes are in front of the porch, but not backing up against the side of the house. good sized garage too.
3 - nice, but I’d worry that the tree in the front yard that’s leaning a little would fall on my house in a storm. Would need to get that checked out.
4 - Really nice. The only downside is that the upstairs windows are so small.
5 - really don’t like this one. I don’t like that the front is brick and the sides are siding.
6 - this one and # 2 are my favorites. I LOVE the front porch on this. The colors are great, and the landscaping is great too
7 - nice, but not my style at all
8 - I love the house and the landscaping (especially the cobblestone drive) but hate the little fence. It reminds me of a church cemetary (I really hope this one isn’t yours - if so, I’m really sorry for my comments)
9 - nice, but looks older than the rest.

I like #5 and 6. I really love bricks. And #6 is a great photo.

I like house #2. (I’m a sucker for green shutters. My new house has green ones too!)

And look at the grass in that pic. Nicely manicured and freshly mowed. Looks like it would be a good “brochure” picture for a moving flyer.

Great curb appeal.

Definitely #6 and then #8.

I like #7 the best, style-wise, but I wonder why it has dark streaking on the roof.

I like # 6 the best. Next in line would be # 3, with a new screen door, and # 8, after the front fence is removed. The others are a bit blah.

It hardly matters. I can’t afford any of them. Seriously, those are enormous lots!

My favorites are #6 and #8. Both are a bit unusual looking. #3 and #4 would be next in line. 1, 2 5, 9 - not all that interesting.

Living in Arizona, I never see any yards as green as any of those, so I don’t envy whoever has to cut those lawns. They’re beautiful, and I wish we had a lawn, but alas, it’s just rock…Arizona landscaping! Thanks for all the green envy, plus I want to live in more than a few of those homes!

Hmmm…It may just be perspective, but houses 3 and 4 look like they have something to hide…I personally love mature trees but sometimes if you can’t see the house, some people don’t like that.

The rest of the houses I have no opinion on. They all look really nice.

Either 3 or 4, because there is mature landscaping. See, I live in the land of sticks planted to look like trees. The land of “if it’s brown, it’s summer.” The land of xeriscaping. Sigh…lush grass and tall trees make me long for the midwest. Until I think of the accompanying humidity and winters. Then I snap out of it.

I love #6! I like the big porch that goes around it. I can see myself in a rocking chair, siping a cup of coffee on a nice summe day!

I can’t say I dislike any of them, but #6 is definitely my favorite.

#1-Looks just very well taken care of and homey.
#2-Kind of reminds me a grandparents house, the brick and all.
#3-Beautiful, very lodgy and cozy.
#4-reminds of the Brady’s house
#5-Perfection
#6-Near perfection
#7-pretty, looks meditarrean(sp?)
#8-So cute, cottagey.
#9-very cute, a little small compared to the others.

They are all great. Fortunate choices.

I am seriously jealous of the big front yards on all of them.

Since you read my blog, you know I don’t like medium sized trees that obscure the front of the house. Other than that, they are all pretty. I’d plant more flowers though… (again, you read my blog so you know that I’m a flower fanatic).

#6 is my favorite, I like the light color and the windows on top! I’ve always just loved the look of houses like that. The other one’s I like are 1,2, and 5. I like the lighter colors, and they just make me happy! I can’t quite describe why!

I like houses 1,3, and 5 the best. I like that the garages are not facing the road and that they have mature trees.

The satellite dish on #8 needs to go… you can tell there are no protective covenants in that neighborhood… other than that… they’re all fine.

I like #6 the best with #8 a close runner up. I like the historic country feel of 8.

I love #7. When can I move in? Hahaha

#6 is very pretty too. It’s country style, right?

I like #3 for the way it seems to blend in with the natural surroundings. Like a cabin getaway.
However, my favorite is #6! I can just picture kids running on the lawn while friends rock on the porch while sipping a cold drink!
