Pros and cons, that&#x27;s for sure. My current house is from 1974 - it&#x27;s built very well. There&#x27;s a comment below about new houses being built poorly - there are builders that cut huge corners but still stay within code. The new builders will clear cut pristine forest areas, build houses and plant little twigs called &#x27;trees&#x27;. My current house...I had to cut down an oak tree as it was getting a disease..I counted the rings and it was 90 years old. Same for all the houses around my old neighborhood. The houses are about 40+ years old but you can tell the trees are older than. Builders, and people cared back then. I love walking in my old neighborhood...tons of trees, you don&#x27;t even feel like you&#x27;re in a big city but I&#x27;m 15 minutes away from downtown Atlanta.<p>The new house is a open floor plan, 2 story foyer&#x2F;family room, tall ceilings etc, 50% larger more square footage. The outside looks beautiful.The funny thing is, the price of my current house and new house are very similar...old is valued at $330k, old was purchased a $363k. But my old house is closer to the city in a nice area.<p>I am moving to a newer part of town. It&#x27;s closer to work for both me and my wife. All houses around there are no more than 20 years old...most are within 10 with new construction everywhere.
