    Boy can I relate to this!  I live in the type of neighborhood that
    works with this lifestyle.  I live on a street with houses that were
    built anywhere from 1900  to 2002.   It is not a subdivision and
    each house is individual.  Since the houses aren't of the cookie
    cutter variety, a lot of flaws are overlooked, with the exception of
    an extremely unmowed lawn.  That can often be handled by the
    neighborhood teenagers for a reasonable fee.  I think the key for
    you is to avoid a subdivision and perhaps find an older community. 
    I am fortunate that I live in a small town which is actually part of
    a large metropolitan area--so I have the advantages of both worlds. 
    My home was built in the 1920's and we have added on and made many
    improvements--new kitchen, central air-conditioning etc.--but there
    are plenty of things that go wrong in an old house--cracks in
    plaster, issues with floors, etc.--that are easily overlooked and
    seem to go with the territory.  People just expect an old house to
    be--well--old!   I have a studio in the basement right next to an
    outside entrance which I can open for additional ventilation, if
    necessary.  There are extra rooms which can be used for
    computer/bookkeeping areas --such as the large dining room and
    several smaller bedrooms.  I can't imagine living anywhere else!
