If you're so put off by my hyperbolic example of London vs. Houston, here's a more apples-to-apples one:
This is North Center, a mostly residential neighborhood in Chicago replete with SFH homes. Despite the fact that it is a residential neighborhood heavy in SFH, notice the wide parkways separating the street from the sidewalk, the lack of driveways or garages breaking up the pedestrian experience, and the ample vegetation and tree cover: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9596...7i16384!8i8192
Here is a comparable neighborhood in Los Angeles--residential, upper-middle class, within a couple of blocks from a dense commercial district--but clearly built with a focus on ease of car ownership: https://www.google.com/maps/place/45...4d-118.4429382
I know which street I'd rather take a walk down, despite the better weather in Southern California. |
both are nice areas, tbh, i'd probably go with the house in the valley off of ventura blvd. forget the weather for a moment, better investment bc better home appreciation and like Chicago it is walkable to everything.
