Congratulations - I would consider it a major achievment to own a home at the age of 22! A friend once told me "buy the least expensive house (what you can afford) in the most expensive neighborhood you can find". I have always thought that good advice - chances are you will have better neighbors who take care of their homes, thus increasing the value of your home. As Dave said, a small house is good - it is affordable AND easy to keep clean which leaves more time for riding.
I love the driveway!
