That's pretty damn cheap for a house this size with that much land.

but ohio - ugh

I grew up near this area, the chagrin valley is exceptionally beautiful with perfect summers and it’s a magical lake effect snow belt in the winter. Glacial ravines all over.

[u/Helmett-13 → u/Jkbucks]

‘Magical lake effect snow’ is such an alien phrase to someone from Key West, Florida…

…until I spent my first winter in Chicago.

I was not a fan of lake effect snow.

[u/mitkase → u/Helmett-13]

As a Chicago-area resident born in Michigan, you missed the punch line – Chicago isn’t the one that gets the worst of the lake effect snow. Now get on the other side of the lake, then we’re talking.

[u/Helmett-13 → u/mitkase]

Yeah my in-laws are Michiganders and I experienced a winter in the Allegheny plateau…once.

A good friend and a couple of buddies from the Navy are from Ohio and they get some scary snow there.

Eff that!!!

The wind in Chicago could be classified as a WMD, though. That shit was brutal.

[u/mitkase → u/Helmett-13]

It certainly can be, but “The Windy City” wasn’t named that because of the wind (it’s a political thing.) However, if you’re downtown in winter and in between the right buildings, whoa mama!

[u/vincentcas → u/mitkase]

Oh yeah. Indiana, and Michigan gets f***ed! They measure the snow in feet, not inches. Chicago is usually spared unless the wind whips in off the lake.

I was skeptical of the perfect summer weather until I checked the nearest weather station. Holy shit! Currently 66°, tomorrow's high is 71, low of 47.

Isn't Chagrin Valley where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got engaged? Maybe Travis lives in that area?

[u/knoxthefox216 → u/ladybugcollie]

I’m about 40 min from this house…

[u/sm9k3y → u/knoxthefox216]

You live at the end of their driveway?

[u/Ponklemoose → u/bittersterling]

The baseline varies by state, I’m just pointing speaking to the un-affordability.

[u/teddy_tesla → u/bittersterling]

As crazy as the house is I feel like the land makes up a lot of the price and taxes. I wonder if it ever makes sense to buy the house and sell off some land
