New houses vs. Old houses

A few weeks ago in class we were talking about the neighborhoods that we each live in and the contrast of the designs of the homes. As I was driving through my neighborhood I started to realize how big of a contrast this way in my own town. My house is about 100 years ago, so I would say that it's one of the older ones in my town. My mom loves old houses so that would be why I'm currently living in one of them now. But if you were to walk down my block you would see that there are some old houses and some news houses. You can just tell by the way they are designed. The old houses have a more classic look to them and the paint job is a little less than perfect. The new houses look more modern and efficient looking and the paint jobs are impeccable. In my opinion, I prefer the older houses. I just like the warm feeling of home they provide. I feel like the new homes are too impersonal and modern. They lack that certain feeling of home. For example, would you want to spend Christmas dinner in a one of the new houses or one of the old houses? I would personally want to spend it in the older houses because when you step into an old house you get the feeling that there are memories that were made in that home. The new houses lack those memories and therefore lack the true feeling of "home".
