Choices, choices, choices

All of these homes are priced very closely together. Let's compare:














Here's a cute house in the local area, although it would be a good 20 minute drive to the city. 4 bedroom, 2.25 bath, total square footage: 2057 Decent school district. Although one kid would sleep in the basement. (If I won't live in a basement, there's no way I'm putting one of my kids in there.)














A home in the DFW metroplex, located in an excellent school district. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, total square footage: 2,046. From the listing:
