Larger Homes on Smaller Lots: What's for Sale in Albany

There's a 1,200-square-foot home on Curtis Street that sits on less than a quarter-acre. Here's what it costs.

Size and acreage.

Those are two of the most important things that determine the price of a house.

This week, we're taking a look at larger homes for sale in some communities that sit on not-so-large lots.

In Albany, there's a somewhat spacious home at 729 Curtis St. that rests on only .12 acres. It's being sold for $750,000.

The home, built in 1925, is 1,220 square feet. It has three bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms.

Another example of more balanced reporting from Berkeleyside article:Read More http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/05/17/uc-berkeley-seeks-funds-to-cut-down-22000-non-native-trees/. Some of the comments are useful especially about glyphosphate. The author of the article even used his own name.

The source cited in this announcement states up to 1,400 gallons of herbicide possibly includingRead More Roundup might be used rather than 14,000 gallons of Roundup will be used. Not that I am in favor of dosing the environment with petrochemicals, but I do like to make decisions based on facts. I also have to wonder about the accuracy of the source given that it is an opinion piece rather than an article.

And now for the more balanced reporting: "But U.C. Berkeley wants to remove most of its 22,000Read More eucalyptus and acacia trees, then restore native species like they did in the Claremont Canyon." From this article: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/east_bay&id=9107025

If you are upset about how the rightwing has been attacking President Obama with lies and hyperbole,Read More you should be just as upset about how the Green Tea Baggers of OTF are attacking Albany. Their attempt to derail plans we citizens negotiated and agreed to will harm our schools and our quality of life if it succeeds.
