I'm just lookin around at homes.....?

Question

huge, expensive homes....I cant get one for quite a while but I'm just wondering....
-where's the best place to live? rural or other?
-I'm thinking Travertine flooring and counters...is that the best choice to go? or what kind would be?
-what are the most up-to-date accessories that a home could have?

any other info would be good....
Thanks

Problem is, since you said you couldn't get one for quite a while, the materials will change and get better by then. I like rural areas because I don't want neighbors on top of me. Base your choices on what you can't see. Insulation will save you on energy bills. I like the metal roofs due to the long life of them. Heating and AC systems are not all the same. Look for efficiency. Drain and vent lines are mostly PVC now. While they work fine, they are also noisy when being used. If I built a house, it would have cast iron lines.
