I picked Cleveland because I like the du-plexes there,Im sure Detroit has the same kind of architecture that I like in Cleveland.I was gonna make this a multiple choice poll but I forgot to click the option for that.
I chose Pittsburgh just because of the way the neighborhoods are set up. If you look into the hills you see the neighborhoods and the allys going up as if they're going straight up. I don't know just something new and different. Plus I've only visited a few of those cities. And the only time I spent in Cleveland was in the slum near Glenville.
I picked San Diego, just because that's one of the only places I've been and liked the residential structures. I generally don't usually associate nice houses with cities, but it can be said that most of these cities have some phenominal apartments/condos. New York's Upper East Side comes to mind, as well as Denver, where you can get some of those 4000sq/ft apartments.
We are talking houses, right? L. A. The overall diversity in this greatest housing market can't be beat. The years of eccentric people developing residential property here have resullted in just about any kind of single family structure you can imagine, of any size and type. There's no way you're gonna knock L. A. for being a largely residential city made up of single family housing and having no urbanity at all, and then have someone from N.Y. talk about how great apartment penthouses are. On a thread called, "City with the best houses." Homes in the most diverse neighborhoods in the world. We're not talking ' brownstones ' here. Did you know the shot that they always used for Jerry's apartment on ' Seinfeld ', the apartment that looks so New Yorky, is actually in L. A.
Anything east of the Mississippi is where youll find the good architecture. Places like Chicago, Boston, Philly, Pittsburgh, etc, have wonderful architecture, beautiful old homes, many restored to pristine condition. Go out west and its not the same, with the exception of custom homes, which every corner of this nation has. Large western city home designs are putrid, boring, blah crap.
Wait, I take that back. San Fran has some really neat older homes. Other than that, Ive yet to be in a big western city that had a large amount of cool looking old homes. They exist in pockets of course, but overall? Yawn.
We have a question about the best arch. houses and the poll includes Tampa but not New Orleans. Thats silly. Anyway, my vote goes to San Francisco for the most unique. I also love the old rowhomes in Cincinnati and Baltimore
I could only put 30 cities.If I could have I would have put the 100 biggest cities.
