By older I mean before WWII. Nearly everthing from before that period has a lot of flavor. But I do like individual homes from the 50-60s too. After 1970, the style seemed to go the way of shag carpet and avocado range tops...I cannot afford and don't particularly care for the new McMansion stuff, so like good, solid, older homes and neighborhoods.
If you're worried about public transportation, you shouldn't be looking toward Ashland or Boise. And why won't your kids be driving when they're older?? Odd? If you want them to rely on public transportation you'll need to move to a much larger metro with the resources you require.

Sounds like you are addressing Deena. I have only one kid, and I suspect he will want to drive in about ten years or so. I think some public transport is good, but not the only factor. Without it though, traffic and sprawl can ruin a place pretty quickly. As for Ashland vs. Boise, I live in Ashland, so have no choice about that one! But I am actively looking into Boise as a somewhat more affordable alternative.

Yeah, that's me. Sorry, you missed the part where I said I had two disabled children, one uses a wheelchair. So, public transport is a big deal. :~) D

Yeah, you hit the 70's and you get a lot of cookie cutter split levels. yuck. I'd love to find a neighborhood with custom houses like we're in now. It's not a fancy neighborhood, but no two homes are alike. I have a tendency to get totally lost in new subdivisions because everything looks alike. :~) D

Ummm...and that might have been another thread.
