Drove by there yesterday and it looked like the homeowners were doing a lot of the work themselves.

I've always thought buying on the historical side while a snowbird or snowflake is a good idea. You can get a cheap place to stay until you're ready to retire. Once you're in TV permanently, you can either sell your nice, large lot or tear down the manufactured home and build pretty much to your own taste if you so desire. (The deed restrictions are much lesss restrictive on the historic side.)

While this home is over-built for now, I think it will ultimately fit right in. I did drive by another house near Aloha Way (can't remember exactly where, sorry) a few months ago that was being built. It looked very much like the designers/ranches south of 466 -- stucco and all.
