Enh. Depends on the area. In my neighbourhood, anything built after 1920
is hopelessly modern.
When we moved here in 1986 and asked our realtor to show us some
"older homes," we got to see houses built in the early 1970s.
Where I grew up, "older homes" meant 19th century.
One of my sisters bought an "older home" built in 1696.
Location does indeed matter.
