hi! my husband & i are looking to buy a new house. we were thrilled to find a new neighborhood is being planned these days on a hill with most of the houses overlooking the ocean. there are 3 models of houses to choose from. the houses on one side of the street have their back facing uphill, & the houses on the other side of the street have the first floor on ground level & the second floor is below ground level. the entrance to the house is from the street, but most parts of the house (including a porch) are facing the ocean. i know it's not recommended to have the back of the house face downhill, but it does seem like the main entrance would actually feel like the back of the house, & i think these houses will have a better view of the ocean. what should we do? sharon
