Family Buys Ghost Town Home, Tries to Encourage Others to Revive Neighborhood

There are a lot of things to consider when picking out a home. Perhaps, chief among the factors that go into deciding which one is right would be the neighborhood. This is definitely going to be a concept that changes from person to person. At the end of the day, though, it could be the difference between a winning and a losing selection.

For most common folks, things like crime and schools might play the biggest role. Perhaps somebody wants to live in a more populated area versus somewhere with a little bit more privacy or vice versa.

This time, we stumble upon an individual who really seems to value that privacy. Their decision to purchase a home happened to come in an area that nobody else was really considering. Instead of buying in a traditional neighborhood, this family decided that a ghost town was the best location for them.

Sure, upon initially learning about something like this, it could provide a little bit of a shocker. However, if you think about it for a bit, the concept isn't really all that strange. Perhaps, there are some solid structures that have just been left behind. While they might need a good amount of elbow grease, bringing them back life might be a rewarding process. At the end of the, the home could end up being a bargain if you find the right one.

Not only did this family want to move into the ghost town but they also decided that they wanted others to come with them. In addition to buying one of the homes, they also want people to bring their families to the neighborhood as well. Who knows? Perhaps they'll even start a movement to the point where all sorts of folks are coming back to this town to revive it once again.

When we really think on it, it's kind of mind blowing how many homes have just been left to rot. It's rather resourceful to revive these homes instead of leaving them to be wasted.

By following along with the video below from Kirsten Dirksen, we're able to see what the neighborhood is all about. For those looking for a taste of something different, this property surely provides all that and then some.
