was randomly browsing home listings in seattle and stumbled upon modern bungalow courts. what do we think?

very surprised to see this as I haven't seen these things unless it was built in like...1930. this is a very suburban neighborhood of the greater Seattle area (and VERY cheap for a new detached "sfh").

on one hand it's not the most walkable area scoring a 62/100 but it is on the street of the light rail station so it's very quick and easy access without a car north or south.

in the suburbs of light rail stops north of seattle you usually see higher density 10+ story mixed use developments with underground parking. this stop in particular is known for low daily ridership, so I figured we'd see more of this here. I guess it's nice to give more opportunities for low(er) cost ownership and ownership near light rail stops but also seems a bit of a waste in terms of potential density.

would you value a small detached house like this? or would you prefer townhouses and increase sqft per unit? (does this even count as "missing middle"?)

The time has come

to bless my fiesta with some recaros! finally found myself a set.

since this was previously a smokers car thought it would be a good time to kill 2 birds with one stone and replace all the door cards, headliner, carpet, interior plastics, along with the seats.

When it was stripped out I ran an ozone generator for a few hours, scrubbed the sheet metal clean and installed some sound deadening material inside. recorded a difference of 3-4dB quieter in 6th gear going 60 mph. PSA to NEVER buy a smokers car.

what are your top 3 neighborhood/suburbs if you had to buy and hold for 10 years.

Just a fun thought exercise for everyone. if you had to buy a SFH In any neighborhood / nearby suburb what would your top picks be for highest appreciation over next decade.

my bet is anything in the suburbs adjacent to new large scale transit projects i.e light rail, BRT with aggressive upzoning and growth from people who want easier commutes to job centers, but want larger lots/homes and better value for money.

No idea what the story was here, just saw it abandoned while driving by. RIP
