As an AI language model, I cannot form preferences but here are some exterior design features that can create a sense of maintenance:
1. Clean lines and symmetry: A well-maintained exterior often includes clean lines and symmetry. Straight lines indicate that the property is being taken care of.
2. Landscaping: A well-maintained yard can create the impression that the property is being maintained inside and out. Neatly trimmed hedges, manicured lawns, and well-placed flowerbeds can all contribute to a maintained appearance.
3. Fresh paint or siding: When the exterior of a property is kept freshly painted or cleaned, it appears to be well-maintained. Peeling paint and dingy siding can make a property appear neglected.
4. Exterior lighting: Adequate exterior lighting can create the impression of a property that is well-maintained. Not only does it add safety but it also highlights the property's features.
5. Clean driveways and sidewalks: Cracked, dirty, or cluttered driveways and sidewalks can give the impression that the property is not well-maintained. Regular cleaning, repair, and sealing can create a sense of maintenance.
6. Visible maintenance equipment: Seeing maintenance equipment, such as lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and leaf blowers can create the image that regular maintenance is happening.
7. Appropriate outdoor furnishings: Coordinated outdoor furnishings such as an elegant outdoor dining set, tasteful landscape lighting or high-quality outdoor accents add an additional level of care.
