Unreal Estate Game: Arkansas
Assume that you idly buy a state lottery ticket while getting a doughnut at 7/11, and voila! You're a winner! You win your choice of one the five houses that will be shown.
I'll give you five houses in a state, and you vote on the house you would take. Background rules: Assume that your job situation won't need to change - you can find an identical job or work from home or whatever, so jobs don't matter. Consider the house itself and the location and anything else that's important to you (schools, restaurants, lot size, etc.). Feel free to do a google map search to check out the neighborhood and the area. You cannot sell the home. You can live in it as long as you like, but when you move out, it reverts back to the state as a prize for a future winner. All houses will generally be in the $900,000 to $1 million price range. All maintenance and utilities and taxes are cost-neutral compared to your current home. If you wouldn't move into any of these homes, you can instead accept a cash prize of $50,000 (tax free). Today's state is Arkansas. Here are your five houses: Conway - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...4_M81657-20600 Eureka Springs - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...2_M74186-77641 Horseshoe Lake - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...ex=AR611398903 Hot Springs - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...ex=AR609207103 Springdale - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...4_M77148-27029 |

I'm not really into any of those. If I were going to relocate to AR, which I might sometime in the next 10 years, it'd be around the white river, mountain home, somewhere more in the north central.

Springdale for sure. I love that area. Lots of cool stuff to do and plenty of outdoor activities.

Bah! You missed the boat. Dromborg Castle is the only answer.

I have lived in Arkansas for 16 years. Got stuck here and I can't wait to leave in like 10 years forever. This state sucks.

Initially I thought: Arkansas? Blech.
But my God. These estates are ****ing GORGEOUS. Was able to narrow it down to Hot Springs, Eureka Springs, and Springdale. I think I would settle with Springdale. |
