Thanks
@alp , totally forgot about the closeness/ density of your area. reminds me of my husbands youngest brother and his wife who live in Orange County, California, all proud they were of their purchase of a 1/2 million dollar house, of 4,000 sq feet years ago. Finally went to visit, and through their kitchen window you could see what the next door neighbor as having for breakfast, and back yard, is a 10 foot pace to a wall. Give me my little 1800 square foot home on 3 acres with woods and need of no privacy curtains . And, lucking out is still protected woodland behind me of 20 acres. Funny when their son was out in Virginia at college he kept telling them of the wide open spaces, they just don't want to hear of it. I was actually brought up on a farm in Ohio, of 45 acres. So openness is what I am used to. But this area I live in is an expensive county for PA, so cost is high. They have zoning things here which are strict, buildings have to be approved to visually meet the ambiance of the historic quality of the area, and there are many protected open lands of thousands of acres that cannot be built on ever to preserve the style of this area, which are rolling hills, woodlands etc.
