Teal House

The name of one of Btowns newest developments. Located on the near south side of town. I lived just a few blocks away from here when I was 12. For all of you in the area it is located between Grimes Lane and Hillside Drive just west of Henderson.

For a change these houses actually have a lot of character and charm. They are all colored very brightly and elegantly if I do say so myself.

I was in the area to visit an appliance repair shop and they had some interesting details about this place. The houses are starting around $270k, ouch!

While in some areas of the country, that may seem like a tame price for a new home, in Bloomington Indiana, and especially the neighborhood it is in, this is an extreme price. The average home in the area goes for around 80k, while in the rest of town it is probably around 150k.

The house pictured is my favorite. I think this is something america has forgotten. I hate cookie cutter subdivisions, and homes like these are hard to find these days, especially new ones.
