到底能不能买老兵房

湾区有很多老兵区，除了外表看起来想棚屋一样(本人不是很介意)，听说隔热和管道这种比较麻烦，有相关经验的来说说吗，入住体验到底怎么样？

Eichler是简易房，但在加州是建筑遗产，所以加改建必须雇佣有Eichler建筑专门的设计人员。所以最好买不需要加改建的。最好看看房子有没有做过大手术，隔音，保暖，供热，上下水，电，屋顶，最好还有墙壁和窗户都换过，改造过。那个大窗户看着好，可是住进去放家具，儿童安全都是减分项。卧室没有改造的屋顶，你躺下可以清楚地知道晚上上面路过几只老鼠。最后引用一个网上经常发给喜欢Eichler房子朋友的帖子看看…..

“I’m a builder in Palo Alto, where we have lots of Eichler homes.

They are great in concept, if you like that type of design, but…

They were built as cheaply as Eichler could get away with. The construction is absolute crap. The walls are super thin—you can converse with people in other rooms without opening the doors. The floor slabs crack because they are too thin, and this breaks the heating pipes that are in the concrete. Doors and cabinets were the cheapest available. An old architect who worked with Eicher once suggested that they use nicer hinges on the cabinets, and Eicher replied, “Are you crazy? That would cost me $6 more per house!”

I’ve offen thought if you took an Eicher, lifted it up, poured a new, thick slab under it, and completely gutted the inside, used spray foam insulation, and replaced all windows and doors with dual glazed glass, and insulated the roof with foam over the top, and put a new heating/air conditioning system in, you would have a nice house. But the way they are, they are really awful quality. A Palo Alto building inspector who was a former fireman told me, “We called them 10 minute houses, they would burn down in ten minutes.” There’s not much there.”

真正老兵房不建议买，社区一般较差，地小房小。

纯正爱可乐取决于你喜不喜欢mcm style。不喜欢不建议买，会少很多心理价值和乐趣。

水的管道不好走因为是concrete slab，但现在很多新房都是concrete slab，不算什么特殊缺点。电可以走房顶，不算困难。

隔热的确相对较差。可以通过屋顶加隔热层，以及使用双层玻璃和遮光窗帘解决90%以上。

湾区不存在不能买的房子，只有不能买的价格

最关键的是看你1. 要不要加或者改造通风系统；2. 要不要加屋顶隔热层；3 有没有需求改屋顶。如果没有的话，老兵房也可以接受。

特别注意的是有些老兵房被保护，不一定能被重建或者大规模改造。

有些老兵房社区很好，上述缺点可以被接受的话，当然要考虑

个人建议别买，看着跟工棚屋没差别，去朋友家呆过怎么也喜欢不起来，价格相对低总是有原因的

看个人喜好
落地玻璃墙配上前后院的花园会很爽
冬季隔热会差一些，湾区冬天也不冷，如果配上太阳能板基本可以实现用电自由

隔热和管道都可以解决：屋顶隔热可以用hard board，外墙隔热直接用普通填充的；管道需要砸开水泥地面

最近看到一个特别酷的eichler 价格还不错。。
