In most parts of Kansas City you can buy a 4 bedroom house for around $300,000. The house chosen here is very nice, but it's not representative of the KC real estate market. Most of the good public schools are on the Kansas side, or in the farther out Missouri suburbs. So add to the price of the house shown here private school tuition for the kids.

As a woman who has lived in large cities most of her life, I do not understand the attraction of outside access to bedrooms -- particularly on the ground floor. It seems like a security issue to me.

I wonder what the annual flood insurance on the riverfront property would be.

The owners of the New Hope house are smart to leave the 1st floor unfinished because otherwise it will never survive the next flood on the Delaware. Houses in Bucks County all along River Road in New Hope and Yardley are all being raised by 1 story in preparation of the next '100 year flood' which is now happening quite regularly.

the house in new hope receives extra run off if you prefer--------absolutely ridiculously deigned, no small wonder that it is for sale.

These houses are rather cheap compared with similar structures here in Germany. The size of floor space and the location are overwhelming.
But the property taxes are hefty. No middle class German could afford them, being already squeezed by his/her income taxes.

Agree on the taxes, Peter. Who would have thought that real estate taxes in Georgia would be so much higher in than Pennsylvania or Missouri?

It's not really Atlanta property taxes, per se, since Atlanta is comprised of DeKalb County, Fulton County and the City of Atlanta.
It's long time corrupt Fulton County that has ALWAYS used the well-heeled old Buckhead neighborhood to fund that County and City. Just as contiguous equally corrupt DeKalb County since 2000 has jacked up property taxes of the Brookhaven neighborhood to fund its bloat and graft.
