Thanks, guys. I'm pretty excited, nervous, all of that good stuff. Putting together a list of things to buy before I get up there. Lawnmower, all of that stuff's on the list.
The furniture is definitely going away. Dunno what I'm going to replace it with yet, though.
The house is 1136 sq ft., on a 7100 sq ft. lot. and I got it for $105k. The neighborhood is nice, I think there are 7 houses in the little area. The other houses looked like they were well taken care of, and they seemed to be older, which I was happy for. The last thing I want is to be living around a bunch of damn loud college kids
(yeah, i'm only 20, but I prefer to be around older people)
As far as house prices... Out on the nebraska countryside, where I am now, you can find 2500-3000 sq ft houses for $175k. The house I'm getting is in Lincoln, about 5 blocks from the UNL east campus and maybe 10 blocks from Wesleyan, where my girlfriend will be attending. It's kindof in a residential area that's just off of one of the main shopping areas, in its own little world. It's pretty low traffic, since the road it's on sortof dead-ends because of the bike path.
