    Ooh! This looks very interesting and challenging! ;)
    I'm really having a hard time building budget houses, especially if you want to add lots of details for impression. :open_mouth:
    But I'll try! Count me in and I claim:

    Neighborhood 2: Established homes
    30×20 – single family home, 2-3 bedrooms, 1-2 bathrooms, total lot cost no more than 30k

    Thank you! :)

    I would like to claim:
    30×20 – Row Houses, (at least two homes), 1-2 bedrooms, 1 bath. Total lot cost no more than 20k
    20k, Not even sure if this is possible! :#

    Haha, the moment I saw the row houses, I knew it would be right up your alley! :#

    Very tight budgets :o I'd like to try this one:

    Neighborhood 2: Established homes
    40×20 lot – Single family home, 2-3 bedrooms, 1-2 bathrooms, total lot cost no more than 40k

    Can't for a minute think why :D I don't normally consider budgets, especially for row style homes.

    just want to double check about the row houses, Does each house have to be fully furnished inside or just one of them?
  • RawlaRawla Posts: 7,495 Member

    Neighborhood 3: Generational Homes
    30×20 – High-end community gathering spot, total lot cost no more than 150k

    Hey BnS! Tough challenge!

    So..started on the apartment/housing condo thingy on a 40x30 lot with only a 20k budget... That lot is gigantic for what you can build there and I think there will be a lot of empty space. Also, not so sure a 20k budget for a decent building to really utilize the lot is enough. I have apprehensions about the conditions for that particular lot and to have it fully landscaped and furnished.

    A 5x5 studio room with the cheapest bed, sink, wallpaper, carpet, door, one window, shower, toilet, dining table, dining chair and I splurged and got the cheapest TV is about $3580. Multiply that by 3 and you get $10,740...which is over half the budget and if laid side by side, the space they take fills only about 6% of the total area of the lot which leaves A LOT of open space. Maybe this condo/apartment house would look and do better on a smaller lot size.

    I finished the Duplex! It's on the 30x20 lot in Neighbourhood 2. Haha, I am pretty happy with this, even if I wish I could have added more landscaping. Sadly 40k wasn't really enough for it...

    Loving what everyone has come up with!

    @Talea12345 - did you want feedback on your build? If so, a couple more pics in a slideshow format would be useful. Most people tend to use Photobucket or flickr.

    @Zita1966z - did you want feedback on your build?

    @Ash072 and @Issabella14 would it help if we upped the budget, so you were looking at 13k per build, bringing you up to a cost of $39k before adding the lot cost on?

    BnS - Appreciated! I will still try to keep it at low as possible to 20k since it's amazingly challenging. Granted, I can't do my original concept with a 20k budget but if I could, it wouldn't be a challenge! I was just worried about having enough money for landscaping such a huge lot. :smile:
