For some reason, I am not in favour of choosing my home because it's close to work...I just can't live in function of where I work. Though I can see the attraction. In my free time, I want to be in the area I want to spend my free time in. Which is what I currently do. I have a 45 min commute + waiting time also.

I agree that walls of windows, a deck and a wharf are very appealing...just make sure you will make the most of it though, otherwise it's pointless having them. I would find it hard to live somewhere funky (in the negative sense). I like new and clean...or at least renovated heh. I'd definitely go with the place where I feel most at home in. With my current house, I had seen lots of other before it, but when I walked in it, and saw it, I knew that it was the one I would choose.

I also have never heard of groovy parks but I'm curious to see one!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
