It's has a fenced in backyard but I can tell you from experience that street is crazy in the morning so it may be hell to get out of your driveway! The upside is you would be two streets over from me! I drove by the house on my way home.

Like you're anticipating, my neighborhood ain't the best; but that's ok. It's still *my* house :) And it's actually in a 'revitilization area'; so the neighborhood quality may ... no no ... WILL improve ;) Anyway - congrats on your decision! As Rebecca mentioned, I too recommend fix rate; those arm shindigs are soooo risky (unless of course your a billionaire :)). So many people are getting into so much trouble with those arms and such. I'm sure Ohio -v- Maryland home-buying has its differences, but if you want some general feedback on the process - let me know. I closed in December, so it's still semi-fresh on my mind :) Good luck!! Hey Jenni - I just bought a house too. Like you’re anticipating, my neighborhood ain’t the best; but that’s ok.

We bought our house 5 years ago, and while it was a little scary - it was definitely worth it. One of the first things we did was get a dog - a black lab puppy. She was a hand full and then some at first, but now she has settled down quite a bit and is just awesome. We opted to live in Cuyahoga county despite the high taxes and insurance because we wanted to be close to the places we love, i.e. restaurants, shopping, parks, etc. Congrats on your decision!

Fixed rate all the way! We just bought our house last summer and it is the best move you can make. If you want to paint a room purple you can, if you decide *that* wall sucks you can take it out!
