In reply to the discussion: Friend of mine said my apartment layout was different... [View all]LudwigPastorius
(10,527 posts)19. I used to live in one side of a duplex built in the early 50's.
It was about 600 square feet, but had everything I needed except for a washer and dryer.
When I moved into the neighborhood it was very bohemian...a lot of artists and musicians lived there because of the low rent and proximity to downtown. It was demolished 15 years ago, and now there's a 5,000 square foot, $1.8 million McMansion there.
I saw the area change over a decade as the old places were razed and the new zero lot monstrosities went up. I knew my time there was coming to an end when I started seeing someone who lived close by regularly driving their bright orange Lamborghini down the street.

Exactly. I could go for two tiny houses attached. Would need just one kitchen.

I've thought a good bit about that, especially if it's a location with view and a little land.

Wow. I spent a month in Sonora, Jamestown, etc., 45 years ago. A friend had some land like that.
