Home and Auto The Unreal Estate Game: Alabama - Page 3

We'll see if people are interested in this or not. I think it could be fun.

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.

The house and all taxes (one-time and ongoing) are paid for.

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, and you're required to live in the home for the rest of your life.

All houses will be in the $900,000 to $1 million price range.

If you wouldn't move into any of these homes, you can instead accept a cash prize of $50,000 (tax free).

We'll start with Alabama. Here are your five houses:

Abbeville (I accidentally called this Anniston in the poll. Forgive me.) http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...0_M77806-66350

Gulf Shores http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...2_M70246-61101

Also I would love to advise you if you do a California edition, and request you separate northern California from southern

The only people who want to move to Alabama are all the poorer people from Mississippi.

I was actually kind of pondering that. There's a lot going on in that state.

Been here for 6 years. There are pros and cons, like any place. I'm in a good position with my company, wife and I like our home and community, so no major complaints.

I'd do Gulf Shores.

I gotta say, I was in Gulf Shores, Alabama, earlier this year, and it had one of the nicer beaches I've seen. It was beautiful white sand.

That stretch from there, through Pensacola, to Destin is as beautiful a beach as I have found. And I've seen a lot of them.

My GF and I used to cruise that strip, find a a spot get ****ing hammered, party and ****, and there wouldn't be another soul in sight....good times.

The sand is white because its made of pulverized quartz.

The Theodore and Huntsville homes are absolutely beautiful but, IMO, you can't beat a penthouse overlooking white sand beaches.

Gulf Shores without a second thought. It's actually probably my favorite choice of all heats thus far.
