Open Houses in Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill

Few things in life offer more excitement wrapped in fear than hunting for a new house. Is it location? Is it price? Condition?

Sure you can always rip out the stained fuschia carpet or spend a few weeks scraping "vintage" wallpaper from 1964, but depending on what type of person you are, that can sound exciting, awesomely frugal or just plain awful.

First, of course, you have to actually look.

To help, we'll use this space to bring you the most updated list of open houses nearby. Remember: It's not all about granite and stainless. (Or is it?) And no, we don't know why some people carpet their bathrooms.

Happy hunting from your friends at Patch!
