Homes in my community have had their stucco removed and replaced with siding. The look new and fresh again and they are about 16-17 year old homes.

I cringe when I see older houses up north sided. It's usually cheap vinyl shit that cracks and fades unevenly and clashes with the pre-war aesthetic of the house. Tons of houses in my hometown had their clapboards replaced with siding and it just looks terrible.
More contemporary looking homes look great sided.
