八十几年的老房子 are normally more durable and stable than new construction

you don't wanna live in the zipcodes around commerce as those are not safe n
eighborhoods. a good choice is north Alhambra (north of freeway 10), the clo
ser to South Pasadena the better. preferrably, you want to live north of Mai
n St. you can take fwy-710 in the morning and the traffic is usually not bad
. it shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes to go to work. plus, you are ri
ght next to all the chinese restaurants and the beautiful Old Town Pasadena.
it will be more expensive, but it will
If u fast forward another 30 years, your old house is still an old house but the new constructions today will be in a much worse shape then your old house.

maintainence cost could be higher in an older house, but it would also have fewer surprises. You know you would have to replace the roof in x number of years, you know you would need to replace the heater in x number of years, things are more predictable. People have been living in the house for 80 years, there would be no more surprises. In a new house,it would be hard to predict. New development are gernally mass produced with the cheapest material the developer can find.If I had to buy a new development, I would only buy one that was built by the owner, not the development. Another thing is that in nicer part of any mature town, most of the houses are old anyway.

compared to 20-30 years old house, 80-110 yrs old r cheaper in maintaining. either new constructed (sell within 10 yrs) or an old house b4 WWII. house constructed after 60s r terrible.
【在 S******1 的大作中提到】 : maintenance cost是不是会很大?想想再过十多年都是百年老房了。。。 : : construction

我就住在commerce, 没觉得这里不安全, 但是周围住的都是墨西哥人。commerce,
Montebello, Monterey park 这几个城市的房租没很大区别。
如果有问题,可以给我发邮件。

My grandfather's house in Shanghai was built in 1921, my great-grandfather bought it in 1948. It is an european style villa with a large garden. The house was largely neglected after 1950, with no scheduled maint. done for over 60 years!!! The roof is still good, the house is still solid and my grandpa is still living there. 15 years ago, the govt wanted to take it down to make way for the new subway line, we fought it in court and the building was preserved as it is the one of the only 3 northern spanish style ( whatever that means) buildings left in Shanghai. Its hard to imagine a building with no maint. done for this long is still standing, not even any leak. People were seriously hardcore when building houses then...
