Selling it to the next buyer would be a lot easier with EW homes than GP homes is what BTB is talking about.
BTW, what's so bad about attached homes? Please share if you got any bad experiences.
My first condo had 2+ attached walls. I could hear the next neighbor talking and even hear his phone vibration. Not to mention I could hear every time he slammed the door. I could also hear his personal experiences with his gf at night. But it was an old condo and I don't know if newer condos will have the same issues with thin walls between you and your neighbor.
Anyways I decided I would buy the detached home next and I did, and never looked back.
Had a Woodbury condo built in 2005, sound proofing was for the most part good but our neighbors garage was under our master bedroom. The garage doors have those hydraulic auto-close hinges and the thing slammed shut every time and literally made our bedroom shake.
Also both my neighbor and his wife smoked but always outside by the garage or in the side courtyard, the smell and fumes went right up to our windows and seeped in. It was almost a constant flow of smoke and we could never open the windows, even could smell it slightly when windows were closed.
They were very nice people and we got along with them, they didn't play music loud and I couldn't hear them talking or yelling, but I couldn't take it and had to go detached as well. I'd rather live in a detached in Tustin or LF vs. another Irvine attached... just can't predict what you will get in terms or attached neighbors.
