Do front porch and back porch lights that are always left on mean that the neighborhood "drugstore" is open?

Posted by admin on March 5th, 2010 and filed under neighborhood homes | 6 Comments »

I moved into an old town where various neighborhood homes leave the front porch and back porch lights on even in the day time. At first I didn’t think anything about it until I began to see the amount of gangster like traffic coming and going from the homes at all hours of the day and night. I’ve never lived in a place like this before so it is new to me… The city seems to be pretty numb about it all…

At my house it means I leave them on at night for security and just don’t feel like turning them on and off..so just leave them on all the time (except when I think to turn them off during the day).

Are there parking restrictions in your neighborhood for motor homes?

Posted by admin on March 3rd, 2010 and filed under neighborhood homes | 17 Comments »

When we retire, we are going to hit the road to see the country and visit friends and family…shall I add your home as a stop over?

(You could meet Roscoe!)

Well my dear Roscoe…I live in a total urban area..so accommodations for motor homes would be far and few between…but for you and the crew I would make special exceptions such as clearing out my garage to fit you guys in…I live next to a park, so that would suit Roscoe and friend well…I’ll make lemonade and some "baked" goods which we could enjoy while watching our dogs scatter about…then afterwards…Pictonary.

Do semi-trucks make a neighborhood look tacky? Or do older, unmaintained dilapidated homes and vehicles?

Posted by admin on March 1st, 2010 and filed under neighborhood homes | 3 Comments »

We rent a lot, but own the home. Now there has been a debate that our landlord does not want the truck parked in our neighborhood. It’s a 2000 model, clean and does not leak fluids onto the roadway and we only park it bobtail and leave the flatbed trailer elsewhere. When parked it does not block or interfere with traffic and we park it at our home.
I just find it strange when there are many homes and yards that are in need of extensive repair within this area as well as many old unused vehicles sitting on other lots. As well as many used-owned beat-up drivable vehicles that are really eye sores, when it comes down to it.
This news came to us second hand from the manager of the lots, not the landlord himself, whom I have never met. Does anyone know the reason why this is an issue? I plan to question them further but wanted some answers here first just to see what others might think about this or would handle the situation?
Moving out right now is not an option.

As long as your rental agreement does not prohibit large trucks, just ignore it.

I’d rather have a nice newer semi truck, (w/o trailer) next door than a house with 2 cars that havent’ moved in months.

Do the demographics of a neighborhood have anything to do with how homes appraise?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under neighborhood homes | 3 Comments »


1. Not always true
2. Please don’t generalize
3. Besides the type of people moving in your community be sure to observe other things that are going on. Such as what are the school like, are all the good jobs in the city? Are you able to work where you live, or do you have to drive 45 minutes to work everyday. How many school and malls are in the area. Are there landfills and sewage treatment plants in your area. Are hospital close by, how about firestations. Theses count more than what color people are in the community!!!
4. Open you eyes and stop getting your facts from tv media and the newspaper all the time.

how do I find out what prices homes have sold for in my neighborhood?

www.zillow.com has some interesting information

Anyone know of a beautiful older/established neighborhood in the Raleigh area w/ homes in the mid 200’s?

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 and filed under neighborhood homes | 2 Comments »

I’d prefer older over new, small over big, city over suburbs

Since you are a Yahoo user, why not try:

You can also try Craigslist at:

Good luck with your search.

Question regarding Management Companies and neighborhood Board of Directors?

Posted by admin on February 21st, 2010 and filed under neighborhood homes | 1 Comment »

I live in a small neighborhood (150 homes) that is under a management company. We also have a board of directors made up of homeowners.

Typically, what are the responsibilities of a board like this? Do they work under supervision of the management company or is it the other way around?

Our neighborhood is having some major issues and while I am staying out of it, I would just like to know how some other neighborhoods operate.

Thoughts?
I understand the duties of the management company, as far as "managing the neighborhood" but what does the board of directors actually do? What are their responsibilities separate from the management co?

The management company works under the supervision of the HOA. The management company pays the bills, hires the contractors, sends out notices, collects dues and prepares the budget and financial reports, sometimes they interview the potential renters/buyers and run all the back ground checks. However, the HOA has to sign the checks, approve the budget and oversees the complex and it’s Home Owners. If there are issues in the neighborhood then the Board of directors are who you should speak with, they are usually more accesible than the management company. If you went thru the management company they would consult with the HOA president prior to doing anything without his knowledge and consent.

Usually this is how all HOA associations work.
