Need a house with 3 or more full bathrooms? You might want to look in Naperville where 43% of houses for sale have 3 or more bathrooms.*
After my recent blog post, “Naperville 4 bedroom houses for sale“, a Naperville dentist wrote a comment asking about the distribution of houses for sale by number of bathrooms.
I guess it makes sense that a dentist would be interested in bathrooms since that’s where people typically perform their dental hygene. Now that I think of it, perhaps our view of homes is too bedroom-centric. We always mention the number or bedrooms before the number of bathrooms. Bathrooms make an huge contribution to our quality of life! Let’s hear it for Bathroom Pride! But I digress… 🙂
A search of Naperville houses listed for sale shows that currently:
There are 82 houses for sale in Naperville with 1 full bath. (8%)
There are 508 houses for sale in Naperville with 2 full baths. (49%)
There are 442 houses for sale in Naperville with 3 or more full baths. (43%)
