We have a 30-year-old house now for which we've replaced siding, roof, water heater (twice), A/C & furnaces, garage doors & openers, carpeting and more. We'd like not to have to do all THAT much work on a house in TV but know there are no maintenance-free houses in the world. Is there anything in particular people have problems with there? Cheap windows, bad plumbing, etc.?

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!
You really answered your question with the things you recently had to do.
Or,
Have a home inspection done on any resale home. That would point out what may or may not be needed.
