User blog comment:M4$t3r4$$4$$!n/Best house to buy in Skyrim ??/@comment-26474238-20121219031240

Before the HearthFire DLC, I just stuck with Hjerim, as it gave you the most options to decorate your house properly. If they'd finally fix that damn bug where loading the house cell upon entrance throws every placed item thoroughly around the house, I would most certainly suggest Proudspire Manor or Vlindrel Hall, as Proudspire Manor provides the most space out of any of the housing options, and Vlindrel hall is the most unique, in my own personal opinion. With the HearthFire DLC, I always pick the Lakeside Manor. It's right in between an arctic plain and a heavy forest, with the lake nearby, making for quite the serene location. Really, though, houses don't have much charm for me simply because of that bug I mentioned above. I love decorating my houses, by I find myself not using them for anything more than a storage area. :/
