Anyone Familiar With Mid-Century Modern Style Homes .....?

This is William Krisel http://media.dwell.com/images/478*718/william-krisel-archive-dwell-on-design.jpg - http://www.preservationnation.org/assets/photos-images/preservation-magazine/2009/may-june/william-krisel_mj09.jpg (He built more than 30,000 Mid-Century Modern style homes in his career!) http://www.dougnewby.com/dmh/midcentury/midcentury-collage.jpg Please tell me what you think of these types of homes. I'm interested in renting/buying and want to know what others think. http://www.marinmodern.com/images/Mill%20Valley%20Modern2.png I drive for Fedex Express and was sent to pick up a package on a street called Pueblo Way here in Las Vegas, Nevada. The street is just off Eastern Ave and the moment I turned onto the street I was shocked. The entire street is lined with these types of homes. None of them looked anywhere near each other in design and the majority of them were beautiful while the rest were nice. Not one of them were ugly in anyway. http://www.psmodernhouse.com/website/agent_pictures/2327/mid-century2.jpg The man I picked the package up from was remodeling his home (these homes were built in 1963 and still look gorgeous!) from top to bottom and was turning it into something which would basically be efficient enough to keep your energy bill around zero in cost. I don't understand that part but it seems that your home is so well designed you won't pay a bill if it's done right as far as the power consumed. Huh ... ??? ... sign me up! (smiling) Anyway have you looked at or do you live in a Mid-Century Modern type home? http://www.essential-architecture.com/IMAGES2/Mid%20century%20modern2_thumb.jpg Thanks and thumbs up to all who answer! Just give me time to get back and read the answers. http://www.dallasmidcenturymodernhomes.com/images/midcentury-collage.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2044/2422535853_097bdb8977.jpg http://www.ratioblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mid-century-modern-home-near-indianpolis.jpg virgin 4ever : Ha .. ha .. ha .. It's okay lady! We each have our own tastes. You just wait till you get my age. (laughing) When you do get older you will understand how important it is to build your nest egg and have a nice and quiet place to enjoy the rest of your life. Good luck in school and track ... OK??? (smiling)

1. ugggggggghhhhhh, not me!!!!!!!!
2. Not really my type but I wouldn't be opposed to any house as long as it's nice and in a good neighborhood. To me "Mid century modern" just looks like 1960's ranch style. lol I can't really complain I grew up in a 70s ranch style house. http://www.thebigredarrow.com/listman/listings/images/288_5.jpg Something along the lines of that. If I could have my way I'd take an old Victorian. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1373/1021842529_552f1859aa.jpg But let's face it, I'm not that rich so my second choice would be a bungalow style. http://www.architecturalhouseplans.com/images/home_plans/craftsman_bungalow/sketch.jpg They are typically small but cute.
